Severe itching and hives all over body with Copaxone

[emily06]

Almost immediately after I do an injection (Copaxone 40) I feel a "flood" of extreme itchiness and then the hives come in. It lasts for hours! It's not just at the injection site it's all over my body; even under my chin and on my feet.

I do experience other symptons: continual dizziness, headache, MS numby tingling in my arms and legs and hands.

But I'm just curious has anyone that the severe itchy and hives! It really wears me out it's so extreme.

Emily - it sounds like an allergic reaction to me! Were you on the 20 dose before the 40 and not have that happen? Some site itchiness is expected, but not throughout your whole body. Ugh - I would talk to your neuro about this!
