Has anyone switched from the Copaxone 20 mg to Copaxone 40 mg? If so, any complications?

@A MyMSTeam Member, that was why I didn't switch sooner. The daily was just part of my day. I set my IPhone to an alarm every Mon, we'd, and Friday to go off at 8:15 (that's about my time) and I can't tell you how many time I would have forgotten without it!

I switched over a year ago. The only thing I've noticed is it might sting a little more at the injection time but that could just be me not letting the alcohol dry completely.

I love it. 208 less injections per year mean also 208 less chances of a negative experience

Use the copaxone itracker app. I get a notification on my phone every 3 days a the time I set to do it, where in the rotation to do it, and record my feelings from it.

I seem to have more frequent skin reactions but injecting 3 times a week versus 7 has been worth it.

I was using the copaxone IPhone app but it went haywire when they came out with the 40 mg. It was a blessing. I will have to try setting reminders that way. Even if I set them out for the week, I forget! Thanks sweetie!
