I've been on copaxone since 8-25-11. I was officially dx on 6-27-11, so needless to say, this is my first DMD. Other than the injection site reactions, I haven't had any problems with the copax......that is until last Saturday night. I did the injection in my stomach, and about 30 seconds later, the flushing started. I got light headed and REALLY REALLY hot! I sat down and focused on breathing because the nurse who showed me how to do the injections told me about the possiblity of the "panic attack". I thought my heart was going to flop right out of my chest. It was all over within 15. So, my question to all of the copax users out there......if you've had the "flush", where did you inject on your body when it happened? I'm just curious. I did it right below my belly button and am guessing maybe I hit a blood vessel because it is bruised up badly and I've never had bruising like that before.
TIA!
