Working / Worked
I had to finally start
taking the Copaxone 4 years ago. After I had to have an unexpected surgery I had a major flare-up. Had the do 5 days of the Solumedrol. Which was a fast fix, but still started shots. They have really worked for the walking. I do not like what the medicine does to my skin . Leaves lumps, purple scars and sore for a day
or so.

I had still experienced relapses while on this med.
I LOVE Copaxone! I get the red bumps, bee sting sensation, but it took all of my relapse effects away and now I only struggle with fatigue.

Working well, but man it's expensive!
I hate the shot but I have not relapsed in 2 years so guess it's working.
