Talks about
Prednisone
Copaxone
Beta Interferons
Tecfidera
Lemtrada
Have you experienced relief or side effects from any of the above?
Techfidera works but watch the flushing. You have to eat a decent size meal to keep from getting flushing. Unfortunately my appetite didn't work with that med. Hard to eat when always felt like got off rollercoaster.
On Copaxone (non-generic) for 18+ years...no problems! Insurance wants to change to generic form. Neurologist is against it. He claims the injectable generics aren't researched as well as originals. Wants me to say I have welts/pain with generics so he can demand that I go back to original Copaxone. After @A MyMSTeam Member post...I'm not looking forward to the change.
I took the generic of copaxone. Took forevver for the insurance and the mail order company to figure their crap out. Worked for like 1 or 2 months and just completely stopped. The injection sites were red raised and itchy. But no other side effects. Just quit working with mt body.
I gained weight somehow. Everything smelled weird. Meat smelled horrible when I was on it. Hospital food is horrible too so idk I guess laying in the hospital bed all day did it?
@A MyMSTeam Member I only gained weight when on the oral prednisone. IV med.- no problem.
