I've been on the Copaxone for a month. About a week and a half ago, I started getting itching and swelling a day or two after the injection. I called SS and they said it's normal, so talk to the neuro to see if they can prescribe something.
I tried Benadryl cream, hydrocortisone cream, icing and heating, but the itching is maddening!! It's happening randomly, no set pattern.
My Monday shot on my thigh now has a hot, itchy welt twice the size of a quarter. I sent a message to the doctor and the NP basically didn't read my message and said I should get retrained or come in for an office visit to discuss.
I don't need to be retrained. I am no stranger to needles and my technique is just fine. I'm not driving an hour to the office so they can tell me it's a normal reaction. I need something stronger for the itch than OTC stuff!
Anyone have experience??
