Hi. I am so sorry to hear you are having
so many problems. I have not take
Copaxone, but I do know that I sometimes
get a fever after my shot of Avonex. One
of the side-effects is flu-like symptoms.
I usually take tylenol a couple of times
and the side-effects pass. Does it list
anything like that for side-effects of
Copaxone? I have also noticed that since
the onset of my MS symptoms my temperature
has been higher than "normal". Usually 99
degrees and up. Very few medical
personnel consider that to be a true fever
though. I do not recall it ever being as
high as you stated. I think I have a
theory though. It is thought that MS is
triggered or caused by a virus, which I
guess would give you an increased
temperature when the virus is active.
Also, inflammation at the lesions may
cause an increase in your temperature. I
will do some research on this and be sure
and post what I find.
Take care of yourself! - T

I believe MS is triggered by both
toxicological and viral agents. Usually
lead or mercury to do neurological damage
and obliterate the immune system...
followed by a chronic viral infection that
gets into the nervous system messing with
the RNA in cells and setting up autoimmune
reactions...
Many people have improved with chelation
therapy to remove heavy metals... followed
by various treatments to boost the immune
system to deal with the viral aspect...
but that's not mainstream medicine...
