I'm unsure what you mean by recovery exactly with your question Mary. Recovery with your walking, or side effects on the medication?

This is GREAT news,In about 2 weeks it will be 1 year on copaxone for me.

Hello. Do you find that daily injections are cumbersome and is there any skin breakage or ruptures?

Thanks! Mary.

I don't find the shots bad at all. At the beginning it was 20 minutes of bee sting burning, and lumps forming after the shots.

The burning eventually begins to calm down after several months into the injections (I am finding them easier and easier with each shot). To avoid as much 'lump' as possible, I press on the injection spot (don't rub) immediately after the injection.

Skin breakage? Well, you're injecting, so you're going to be 'breaking' skin to inject, but it's such a small needle, that often I forget where I injected afterwards. You can barely see the injection point.

Never ruptures for me!

Mb,

All the DMD's are not meant to take away current sx and they all take some time to get in your system. I wouldn't try to jump off the Rebif boat yet!

Talk to your neuro!

Peace.

(keep in mind the last line of the article: The current study received funding for data analysis from TEVA, the manufacturer of glatiramer acetate.
)

Still.. as I see it, more positive news on the C front. :)
