I am so sorry I started Copaxone. I was on it for about 5 years. I stopped about three years ago because I ran out of places to inject. I have large dents in my hips, my thighs and my belly is disfigured. I stopped doing my arms after about three months on Copaxone because of the dents. Once I tried to inject in my inner thigh and that was a mistake. I have a permanent scar there and I remember it being very painful. I was on Avonex the first year after diagnosis. I am sorry I went on that too. I got pregnant while on it and even though I stopped the injections immediatley, I still had a miscarriage. I don't know if that was the cause, but you never know. I am not heavy, so the dents, I think, are really noticeable. I may go to a plastic surgeon to see if something can be done. I am very insecure about it, I feel uncomfortable wearing a bathing suit or shorts and I live near the beach!

I eat a primarily vegan diet and exercise and I have been stable. Unfortunatley I have seizures so I have to take seizure meds. That was no picnic finding the right one. Anyway, I wish I was more informed about the Copaxone and the damage it does to the body, I may not have started it.
