I was taking copaxone for 1 1/2 years and had numerous reactions to it. Mostly, I could't handle the stress and pain of the injection. My neurologist suggested I try Gilenya instead. While I was completing all the necessary testing prior to starting Gilenya, I stopped taking my Copaxone. Almost immediately after, I started to have increased fatigue, generalized pain, emotional dysregulation, poor stress management, etc. I still haven't started on the Gilenya and probably won't for another 6 weeks.
Has anyone ever experienced something like this, or similar? Did I perpetuate myself into a relapse because I stopped the Copaxone?
Any comments would be helpful as I'm feeling pretty discouraged right now...
