Did your doc give you the copaxon kit when he prescribed it to you?They have numbers you can call,the program is called shared solutions and they have other people that have been on copaxon call you talk with you and share their personal expirences from the treatment and the disease.Just thought that would be benifical to you as well.If he/she did not I can give you the numbers,it may be better than waiting for some one to find your post on here.To answer your question I have been on copaxon for few months but I have not seen any change yet but everyone is different espically with this disease.Good luck to you and let me kno if you'd like those numbers it took some of the stress off of starting a new med having them to talk to.

I received the kit, auto-inject and all. Shared Solutions is OK...I could not take any more painful lumps. I was told what to do 24 hours after injecting...to gently massage the previous inject site and that would help them to be absorbed / smoothed out.

Did not work for me.

By Tuesday I'll find out if I need to restart Copax or another MS drug.

Hi the fighters
Hi,
I am from India (mumbai). The incidence of MS here is just cropping up. There are many people who don't even know what MS is. I am trying to guide people who have been diagnosed with MS with proper medication as a support group. Avonex or Capoxone is the dilemma. Need to know what can really is beneficial to the people who are suffering from MS. Share your experience, it might help people
