I usually take my copaxone at 6am MWF 40 mg. I slept late and took it at 7. I try to stay consistant with the time because I notice if I don't my symptoms linger. So my question is has anyone ever taken it before the full 36 hours? If so any bad reactions? They seem pretty stern about not taking it any sooner than 36 hours 🙃 Thanks in advance

I believe when I asked Shared Solutions a similar question, they told me it was okay as long as 24 hours had elapsed since last dose. I try to stick with M-W-F in the morning but often times I miss the morning and take it in the evening, sometimes even having to alter the days. I always get to 3x per week but need to be more on top of a consistent schedule 😬

Have been on Copaxone 40mg/ml since diagnosis in 2017. No significant side effects. Once or twice I was sickened after injection, possibly injecting close to a nerve.

Yes after maybe two to three self injections years ago I found out I was allergic. Had to stop immediately. That was my first ever MS Therapy

Took Copaxeone for a little while I had my routine. Sut am mix up my meds while having an ice pack on my thigh to freeze it for the shot. I am still bugged by the bumps that years later. Get used to them not like them USED to them.
