i've been on C for some time and am lucky enuf to be doing fine.
i know that roids can cause mood swings/disorders for even wks after you stop.

i'd call your dr and tell him what's going on.
if you can't reach him you could probably stop the C to see if you improve.
it can take up to 8 mos for the C to work in your CNS so after only 8 days it won't have had a chance to work yet.

you could also try calling shared solutions and speak to one of their nurses.
and/or you could call the pharmacy that is filling your C Rx. and speak to them.

hope you feel better soon.

I love you even thru your b@#$hiness hehehee we all do...
but do take care...read up on the meds...get extra rest..maybe it wont end up being the meds and a phase....unsure on the med...but wanted to give you hugssss,sarah

I was a "b" long before Copaxone, lol. I think PMS is the biggest contributor to that.

Funny to read about weird dreams. I've always had disturbing, vivid dreams but was just thinking this morning that they have gotten really strange.

Last night I dreamed I was a waitress hanging out with Mick Jagger before he went out to do a show. Sad part is that I was my current age and didn't even have the energy to make a move on the boy.

This!

Complete truth uttered by Jules. Same here hun, I was a b with a capitol "B" before Copaxone was even developed

Thanks again for the info and support. Now I'm into crying jags...so upset over everything...
and now my thighs are hurting and weak...worked out Wed-Fri., and now I can't handle pain/weakness. had to sit during part of mass this afternoon...just too weak in the thighs.
I need happy pills!!

Debbie, you should see where I did my injection on my thigh a few days ago.

Bruise from pure he-double hockey sticks. Looks like someone socked me real good. Not to mention, a large area that's raised that is puffed out.

And I've been injecting over 6 months now Every one is a new adventure.

I think it's hard not to be a 'b' when you're stabbing yourself daily

well, I can't blame the Copaxone for my b*&chiness... since I stopped taking it at the beginning of 2005, due to site reactions, and doctor's advisement, since I turned SPMS.

lately, I'm tense, irritable, anxious, not sleeping well, achy, and grumpy.

I attribute that to LIFE with MS (plus menopause), just being what it is, with frustrations, annoyances, spazzes, pains, and exhaustion.

I have had anxiety for many years, and had it well controlled, until...I started Copaxone. I had MASSIVE anxiety attacks during the first three months. it was awful. I was so panicked at shot time. Waiting for this one to be the IPIR. As time passed, the anxiety has softened. My dreams have calmed, and things are in a better groove. It was a rough first year, and adjusting to this stuff was enough to make me sit and suck my thumb in the corner. With time, and patience your body can adjust, and regain many of the normal habits and patterns that you were used to before Copaxone. If you are having tons of trouble, please see your MD. If its interfering with your life, then you may need half doses for a bit till you get adjusted. DONT do it without approval and guidance from your MD.

Confession...I refused to inject myself last night. DH was so disappointed in me.
I will do it tonight...just couldn't handle it...too upset.
I see the neuro on Tues. I need to take some notes...

Kay, how do you know when you go from RRMS to SPMS?

My poor DH...lots of hand holding, hugs. Trying to help me get through this crabbiness/crying. I just don't feel right. And I want to...so much.

thanks for words of support. It helps so much!

Taking a night off isn't something to be ashamed of. Nor is it going to hurt you in the long run. Clearing your mind to be able to move forward is a good thing, don't worry about it .
