And by the second injection, I was having terrible side effects and developed cold/flu like symptoms, despite having the flu shot in February. When I took the third shot, I thought I was going to die. Yesterday, my doctor told me I had an Upper Respiratory Infection AND tonsillitis that was most likely caused by the injections. Has anyone else had these side effects?

Please consider super nutrients protein based as better than all these chemicals. As an RN I know we are all chemically toxic so malnourished which deletes the relevance of chemical health. ck thetruthaboutcancer on you tube Suggest Laminine also recommend herbal anti-inflammatories Have used cat's claw for 10 years helps nerve pain.

I totally believe the onset of the optic neurosis at the beginning of the Copaxone treatment is totally coincidental. I am sure it would have happened even if you hadn't started taking the Copaxone. Copaxone adds more of the amino acids that our bodies already have which gives our immune system more to work with (chew on) than our already depleted stores.

Actually, i looked it up after i posted this. A side effect is flu symptoms and other cold viruses so actually SHE was correct. Also, my neuro emailed me back and told me it was normal. So, i guess posting on here was pointless since two doctors and my own research has told me ot was normal. I should've just looked it up to begin with.
