Hey there Catch!

I am actually on Rebif. My neuro was going to put me on Copaxone 6 months ago but decided that wasn't a good idea since I am uninsured.

I have spoke with several women that are on copaxone and only have that as their complaint with the drug. They showed me the 'dead spots' that were like craters in their abdomen and thighs. They said our neuro said it is very common and really one of the only negative side effects with the drug.

I personally would have a huge problem with this as I already have a HUGE problem with Rebif leaving those nasty quarter sized purple/red marks all over my body.

Im thankful that they have been able to discover drugs to help slow the progression of our disease I really am, but I hate the disease modifying drug. They make my insides feel like poop. and the fact that I am injecting myself with human blood amino acid and CHINESE HAMSTER OVARY CELLS is rather disturbing.... eeEEEkkKKKK!
