Working / Worked
As far as I can tell it works - ocassional side effects, site reaction and tingling in head. Been taking it for 8+ years
Working / Worked
I feel It was the better treatment for me but I didn't like the injection site pain or the daily injections
Working / Worked
I have been on this injection since 2005 when I was living in Baltimore. A Johns Hopkins doctor recommended it. Dr. D.I. He was very good. Copaxone has helped and only causes an itch at the site of injection. I have had not had as many exacerbacitions.
