I believe sometimes the treatments can be worse than the disease. Many say Copaxone has the least amount of side effects, but I have had more side effects on it, than I ever had on Betaseron. At least you wont be poking everyday anymore, and will have every weekend off the drugs.

Many have flu like sx in the early days that goes away as your body adjusts to the drugs.

Some have pink spots around the injection area that can last for a few days after the injection.

Many take the shot at night. Take some Advil, or Aleeve, and wait an hour. Take your shot, and go to bed. That way you sleep thru the worst of it.

Im so sorry Copaxone didnt work for you. it is scary when they start pulling drugs away and telling you that its not working. its not like we have dozens to choose from. Hang in there.
