I have been on copaxone for about 11 years since my dx. I have experienced reactions after taking copaxone about once a month recently. Red flushing in face & chest, trouble breathing and intense muscle spams throughout my body followed by heat then cold and shivers for an hour or so. I also get a a horse throat and stuffed up nose. The latest one was bad and I had red eyes for two days after.
Two questions: I haven't heard of this extreme reaction from others - has anyone had the intense muscle spasms & other symptoms right after injection?
Also: has anyone switched to Aubagio after being on a treatment for so long?
I feel the reactions aren't "normal" as I've been told but I'm undecided whether to stay with copaxone and deal with the harsh reaction or give Aubagio a try.
Any thoughts?
