I have been on copaxone for about 15 years. Never had a reaction except for chills every now and then. Last night I did my shot and all the sudden I noticed it was hard to breath and my face felt hot. I took my blood pressure and it was 180/108. About 30 minutes later I stated to shake. I realized it was probably a reaction to the medication. I felt better in about an hour, i took a benedryl, not sure if it mattered or not and crashed out.
This morning I feel awful, my throat feels like I need to clear it, kind of like when you are coming down with a cold type feeling. my face still feels a little warm but then it's hot out. I just feel wiped out and achy.
I won't take another shot until I call my neuro on Monday, I know we're supposed to call someone as soon as you get a reaction, but it's the weekend, all my docs are gone until Monday. What should I do?
