Anybody Have Suggestions About Coping With Copaxone Site Reactions?

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hastings, UK

Had Copazone daily originally but stopped because of the site reactions. Other injections did not agree with me either and I can't take other DMD's due to a gastric disorder I have. Finally decided to go back on the Copaxone, (lesser of all evils), but the lumps left after an injections are huge. painful and itchy for a couple of days. Sore for about a week and the lumps although reduced in size, remain. I assume that the lumps this time around are worse as the dosage is higher. (ie three times… read more

I am on plagrady after being on capxzone and it is a great improvement with only a red patch appearing after two days from the injection then it goes.

I don't know if you have tried the plegrady. You only have to do it every two weeks.

Yes, unfortunately I have tried all the other injections but have reacted to them. Plegridy gave me chest pain, palpitations and shot my blood pressure up.

Yes, it would be great to try something different. I have tried all injections - one made my BP exceptionally high and was told to stop it immediately. Apparently I should not have been give it in the first place. I am suffering from a severe gastric problem, a large hiatus hernia and Lichen Planus disease,, this means I cannot take the drugs on the market as most of them cause stomach disturbances, and they wont do the infusion as I have had DEEP vein thrombosis! Hope this makes senses, my brain in not cooperating well this evening. As I said before, its the lesser of the evils!
