Copaxone Reviews
Working / Worked
It seems to be working. MRI's show no new lesions and some lesions appear to have healed. I don't like the skin reactions to the injection. The knot under the skin takes days to go away (just in time for the next injection in that site). The injection site is itchy at times.
Working / Worked
I take copaxone every day and work fulltime, but the pain is getting worse and harder to work.

I went off it once and felt much worse
Working / Worked
I have been on it for awhile. The only problem I do have is site reactions. The injection is tolerable. I never feel sick with the injection. This drug is the best for me.

SEEMS TO BE WORKING, BUT NOT CRAZY ABOUT HAVING TO INJECT EVERYDAY.
Working / Worked
I have injection site reactions that last for about 10-15 minutes, sometimes I bruise (usually on the arms). Seems to be working, I've been feeling pretty good and symptom free for the last couple of weeks.
