I've been taking it since Dec. '07, with no side effects.
The daily injection has been easy.

I WAS on it for a year or so. My doctor switched me from Betaceron. I had an MRI, long story short, as a result of the MRI - I am back on Betaceron.
But we are all different. Perhaps it will work out better for you!

Hi Ts,
I have been on Copaxone since Oct.'06 it made some symptoms subside but not all. None of the drugs takes away everything. I had a MRI in June '07 no new lesions. I am due again soon once I get it I will give you an update. You take the shot everyday but it does not give me any side effects except for injection site swelling. But that disappears. (Hugs) Mary

I have been on it for 3weeks now. I use the auto injector. There is no pain from the needle, just a little for about 10 minutes after the shot. I bruise when I give it in my thighs but not anywhere else. Don't know if its working yet or not.

My response is similar. I do manually.. All things being equal.. I do not mind needles and I did not want the "flu," so I chose copaxone..Good luck!

I have been on Copaxone since August 07 and have been pretty satisfied-no major attacks, symptoms that do arise are done pretty quickly (numbness, some buzzing @ times). And the only side effect I have experienced is the site irritation-brusing, some stinging if I'm not careful with the depth.
It is NOT gonna be your lifesaver...you're gonna have to do other things to make life work 4 u-take care of yourself in other ways... SMOOCHES!

Been on copaxone one week. Was on Avonex 6 years. Had to stop due to side affects. I've had ms for 27 years. Avonex was a horror. Copaxone is a breeze. I hope it is working. Doctors should be required to try anything they prescribe before giving it to there patients! (kidding of course) I accumulated Many lesions for the 2-3 years off any diesease modifying drugs. Also lost functionality have increased symptomss. If it works, copaxone rocks.
