I started Copaxone recently after being on tysabri for 2 years. Neuro wants me to take a 6 mth break from tysabri. Anyway, on the 7th shot, I woke up at 2am shaking uncontrollable and freezing cold. (this is 3 hours after given the shot) Finally fell back asleep 4 hours later. When I woke up again, I had a 104° fever and was burning up. Fever broke after an hour. Rested all day and felt good.
Shot 8 - SAME THING!
Shot 9 - REPEAT AGAIN!!
I didn't think anything of this until it's happened 3 nights in a row. Nothing else has changed (new meds, diet, etc) And I don't have any other signs of another illness.
I think I am having a reaction to copaxone. My body doesn't like it. I've been on avonex and rebif and didn't do well on either of those.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What is your opinion? I know side effects are minimal but every one reacts different.
I am skipping tonight. Calling my neuro in the morning.
Sorry this is so long.
