Recently diagnosed and started Copaxone in January. I'm having horrible skin reactions with most of my injections. Redness, itchy, feverish lumps that takes days to go away. Most of the time right after the injection the medicine burns so bad that I'm in horrible pain for at least an hour.
My intitial reaction to the shots was not this bad. It seems to be getting worse. Sometimes a sight isn't completely healed when its time to go back to it. I have tried itch creams, manual injections, hot & cold packs. I'm out of options!! My thighs are the worst area and I skip them often because I can't handle the reactions.
My doctor is leaving the decision up to me whether to continue or change to Avonex. I'm torn! Does it get better with Copaxone?? I really need some advice and some positive reassurance. I'm going crazy with all of these changes!! Thank you.....
