" Been on it for 7+ years and aside from lumps and bumps with the occasional heart flutter, nothing. can't use my legs as just too painful but all other spots are good. Love the autoinjector just wish it was a PILL. Teva is working on a pill along with Isis which is in phase III trials so.... Let's hope it works well and we can forgo the injector! Good luck. "

" I had taken Copaxone for about a year and stopped in mid-January. I have permanent marks/indentations/bruising from the injections. I kept wondering if this was normal and why it happened???? When I was taking it, burning/itching/redness/welts - that last for a long time. Still have some...weird...

oh yeah...Judy...Cheers to the pill...color me there!!!! "
