See post Copax vs Ty. talks about Cx flare ups.
" I had to switch from REBIF to either Copax or Ty and chose Copax for 2 reasons. The antibody effect in Ty if you have to go off it. IF you go back your more than likely will have built up immunity on it, so make sure there is no reasons for you to stop Ty ie: pregnancy. Second, within the next year is the point in months when those others died on TY because they were also on other drugs and I just feel better when that mark is passed and all is fine. With Cx i am having flare ups so I am looking into LDN and mal-absorption. Some take CX and LDN together I have not read up on that yet to see how good that is yet. If I switch than I would take it alone. Just for info; CX 10 year study claim is not as hip as it sounds, They say that 90% of those using Cx after 10 years are not using a walking aid. What they don't emphasize is that those in the 10 year study are only 50% of those who originally started the study. When confronting the nurses they can't tell you why the 50% left and really nobody can they just send you a 50 page medical report I can't decipher. I plan on taking to my next dr. apt. Goodluck, Do your homework, hear is a great place to form questions to focus your research or form questions for you dr. a good post would be Ex-Copax users and Why?

I have been on Copaxone since Sept.2007. At first, the injection site reactions were not fun, and I still have some bruising and knots that last from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Those are the only side effects I've experienced. Don't know if it's working or not, but I haven't had a relapse since going on it, so I am hopeful. I do use the auto injector, because it's easier for me.

I have been on copaxone a year and a half. My MRI's showed no new lesions yet seem to have more leg nerve damage. I think its pretty easy. Hit me up with any questions.
