Thanks Brenda. What type of MS do you have? Mine is relapsing remitting. I used to take Avonex for about 6 years, but have been off of it for the last year and a half. I used to have to take Advil to help with the side effects because Tylenol didn't work for me. Advil may have caused a lot of my digestive problems, but am not sure. I am currently not on any MS medication, but my neurologist wants me to go on Copaxone. Do you have any side effects from it?

Jenny

Jennyj,


I've got relapsing remitting. At least I assume I do. My doc and I have never really talked about the types. I don't have any side effects from the copaxone if you are talking about fever and that type of thing. I had nausea for the first three days real bad, but then that stopped. The only thing I've had since is the injection site reactions. I'm not going to lie to you, they've been tough, but have gotten tons better. I'm told that after you've been on it four to six months, most of the injection site reactions go away.

They are so much better than they were in November. Just mostly some itching the next day and the bee sting for about twenty minutes after I inject. I'm very pleased with the copaxone. It has made a big difference for me.
