Another member here, no longer here, had to stop
Copax because of the migraines. As soon as she
stopped the Copax, the headaches stopped.
If you are prone to migraines, maybe you could try
another DMD.

Feel better.

A friend of mine, who is a nurse that works with MS patients, told me that these "medication induced migraines" can be helped. She said to take your normal migraine medication prescribed by your doctor, plus 800mg of IBUprofen / Advil, and a phenergen / zophran. She said she see's a lot of patients who take Copaxone get increased migraines and this "concoction" usually works.

Check with your neuro as well. There may be other options for you in regards to medications for both MS and migraines. Also, Shared Solutions might have some ideas as well and checking with them couldn't hurt.

While taking Aleve for relief when you do have a migraine sounds plausible, I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use. I would be concerned about damage to your stomach as well as to your kidneys and increased bleeding risk. Please double check that before you take 800 mg daily.

I hope that you find something that works for you for both your migraines and MS.

Thank you, I didn't know it could effect my stomach and kidneys. I will call my neuro first thing in the morning, as well as shared solutions. I did take the Imitrex, Aleve, Zofran and it did work for about 5 hours, it then came back gradually. I will see what my doctor says and relay the message. Thank you so much!
