It just saddens me to read that so many people refuse to take their MS meds that are readily available to them because they are bothered by minor issues that compared to MS, those issues are not even drops of water in an ocean of water.
I wish I had Copaxone readily available to me (financially and otherwise) as after I was forced to stop this vital medication, I had a few devastating and disabling attacks. This is all after being RELAPSE FREE on this medication for 17 years!
I will keep fighting and maybe, one day, I can get this medication again!

I'm sorry you're not able to get Copaxone. I imagine you've already checked into the patient assistance programs... I used to get Copaxone through their program. https://www.copaxone.com/shared-solutions

Keep trying options... you will find something.

Why can't you get back on Copax? Have you contacted shared solutions ?

After much research and thoughtful consideration, I chose to discontinue Copaxone almost 3 years ago. So far, it's the best decision I could have made. I feel so much better than I did while on the medication. I have almost NO symptoms and so much more energy. I had an MRI done recently and unless I had taken the paperwork with me to prove I have MS, they would never have known because you couldn't see it on the MRI any more!

Gentle hugs, Linda
