Copaxone side effects

[Izzy G.]

My dermatologist told me she's never seen skin change so rapidly. She and I are both concerned about Melanoma. I have to be checked every 3 mos. and have had numerous biopsies. All have been ok so far, but, I feel it's just a matter of time. Not to mention I look like a dot to dot game. I am 42 with fair skin and I have spent my fair share in the sun. My skin was fine before C, about 1.5 years into it major changes. No probs with skin on betaseron, changed b/c of depression. You're right this could've happened anyway, but, most sun damage doesn't appear in such a short period of time. My neuro said it could be Hyperpigmentaion from C. I will get 2nd opinion at UW ms clinic when I move in June.

Well, when I initialy started taking Copaxone three years ago, I had bad symptoms including horrible itching. All those symptoms are gone now. It does eventually go away.

Thanks for this! I was wondering if there was a possibility that it would subside, and I am hopeful.
