    Reaction after 15+ years

    I've been on Copaxone over 15 years, first 20 mg daily and the 40mg was approved (5 years ago or so).
    Yesterday I had my first reaction. It last less 5 minutes and was flushing - red face and chest and feeling warm - nothing else. I laid down and turned on the ceiling fan.
    Is it likely I will have another reaction?
    My MRI last month did show a new cervical lesion. Neuro said not to change med (I really don't want to but didn't mention that) I have had new tingling on my left side.

    Good question. I don't know the answer.

    I've had MS for almost 17 years. Was on Betaseron first. Have been Copaxone since 2008. Never had a reaction yet.
