Multiple Sclerosis medications-Copaxone?

2

Anyone taking Copaxone injections for MS? Have you had to quit this med due to adverse reactions? I have been having severe injection site reactions and considering stopping the med. I get very little response from the Dr. and have contemplated going to the ER! I know the redness & itching are very common but this is EXTREME and today’s injection has blisters on it and itches horribly. I have no more sites for injections because these lumps (~3-4 cms) won’t go away for 2 weeks. I am an RN so I know how to give this med. I’m concerned because I don’t know what to do and wonder if anyone else had this problem. Don’t bother telling me to call my Dr., I have 2-3 times and get the same thing from the ARNP, (take benadryl or use the creme). Forget trying to talk to the Dr. I’ve done everything I know. Help!

I take it and no reaction. I would find a new Dr. as there are other choices besides Copaxone. I tried Rebif and had to get off it as the flu like symptoms were too much for me.

This Dr. sounds like someone you want to dump.
