Aw, Barb, I'm sorry. I couldn't take Copaxone, either.

Have you considered LDN? My Neuro would not even discuss it with me so I went elsewhere and got it on my own. As much as they like to think they know everything.....we know our own bodies best. I finally told him that I was the one with MS, not him, and I would decide what I would and would not take. I felt like a guinea pig trying out all the concoctions he wanted me to take...and kept feeling like crap while taking them.

Stand your ground......he's not the one having to experience the reactions....and he works for you.

Barb, that sucks!

I never had any IPIR's while using Copaxone, it just didn't work for me.
Your reactions sound extreme. I'd be talking to my neuro quicklike!

Let us know how it goes!
