hello,

i'm glad you found us.
i've been on copaxone for 8 yrs. i'm a needle weenie too, and I'M A NURSE!
i couldn't take the other drugs because i had a hx of depression so the interferons were a no no for me.

i've either done well (stable) with my MS or i've been stable with the copaxone. hard to tell and i don't feel like coming off to get an answer unless something were to make me.

shared solutions (copaxone) has a toll free # 1-800-887-8100. they may be able to answer your allergy Q's. of course they'll be slanted but you could try.

you might also try to google them and read the drug info. or, your pharmacist may be able to get it for you.

i guess part of the answer may also lie with how your disease process has been, your mri, etc.

good luck and please keep us posted.
