Been on Copaxone since August 2011. Have had "itching" at the sites that lasts for about a week (at each site). Found that Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture for Sensitive Skin stops the itching.

I have been incredibly lucky with Copaxone. I tolerate it well, and thankfully (after 12 years with MS) I am still a 0 on the Disability Scale! My only side effects are post-injection reactions (bee-sting like welts on occasion), and skin pitting from subcutaneous fat loss.

Have been on about 7 months. I haven't experienced much in the way of side effects. It seems like I had some facial flushing the first few months. But, nothing now.

Not sure.
I do not mind the daily injections.
I am experiencing memory problems and fatique.
I am 40.
Tolerates very well, very few side effects. Site reactions is the only side effect noticed.
