Experiences Switching from Avonex to Copaxone

[Shebjo]

My daughter, age 12 has been on Avonex since Dec 2013.
Dr. Will be switching her to copaxone soon since daughter has developed antibodies against Avonex. Please - share your experiences switching from Avonex to copaxone (3x week ) . Note - I will also post this question on a couple of other MS World forums ...looking for comments from people of all ages and both sex.

Hi. I am the original poster ... Just wanted to update you. My daughter, age 12 - stopped Avonex on 8/29/2014 and started copaxone on 9/5/14 (40 mg - 3x a week ) ..... so just 2 weeks. She is doing okay - just those site reactions of stinging and a little redness, lumps ... But they aren't lasting too long. So I would say she's adjusting but would rather take the Avonex - once a week.
