I spent 6 or 7 years on Copaxone (starting back when they did send the one that had to be hand mixed with water, and then loaded into the syringe) and I never had that itching problem though I did get red welts that were sore, especially in the legs. The red welts never stopped the whole time.
I didn't find the shots painful in themselves, but I always used ice packs before and after. and I never figured out how to work that auto-injector, so I always used manual injection.
There was never any nurse or anyone who showed me how to do those injections, so I just picked up the box at the local pharmacy, read the instructions, and injected. Since my husband is a nurse, he might have helped but I found I did OK anyway.
