Or, are you talking about the IPIR reaction (a short-term reaction right after injecting COPAXONE that can involve flushing, chest tightness or pain with heart palpitations, anxiety, and trouble breathing. Generally appear within minutes of an injection, last about 15 minutes.)?

I started fitting within 20 minutes of my injection Faith. This happened 3 days in a row and I'd never had a fit before in my life, and none since. After the 3rd reaction (and worst), I was admitted to ICU because the doctor in emergency was worried I might have a respiratory arrest.
The blisters on my skin were definite allergic lesions that came up just before my first fit! They weren't welts, they were huge bags of fluid, and my skin was red, sore and hot to touch from my ribs to my bikini line.
