I have only been on Copaxone for a week and a half but seem to be having some reaction issues. The first sites are still swollen, red, hard, and somewhat painful to touch. I don't have very much body fat at all which probably isn't helpful. Just wondering if others are having similar problems and if these lumps will eventually go away

Recently ceased taking Copaxone after 3 months as the injection sites were becoming huge palm sized whelts, never in my life had I experienced allergic reactions like this, the longer I took the meds the more unwell I was feeling. Also other injection sites from days gone by would itch for no reason. This drug is not for me. Looking forward to regaining my pre Copaxone "wellness" and finding something more suitable.

With how rapidly I am getting new lesions, I am pretty much on a walk in basis with my neurologist. I have never had medical personnel look after me this well before.

When I took copaxone I always had the red itchy lumps at the injection sight. Only side effect I ever had though, so it didn't seem too bad to me. This is the drug with the east side effects.
