Copaxone

I was finally diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) about 3 months ago. Before I got the diagnose I was absolutely clueless what is causing me to be unable to function properly because I wasn’t able to do simple things as to walk normally or to hold a glass of water. I was feeling that something is wrong but I didn’t knew why is that happening. Everything aligned to its place when I got the diagnosis. I was happy, pissed off and a little bit relieved but I wasn’t shocked because I was already familiar with MS. That’s because my grandfather have had MS for more than 30 years until he passed away. I was having a feeling that this could be my fate. So well, after receiving the diagnosis I was told a list of some medications that were supposed to lessen the MS effects (regarding my tests and results) and I was recommended to study them well and then to choose which one of them I want to take. After a couple of weeks I have chosen Copaxone as it seemed the best for me. Now, I am taking it for a little more than 2 months and the good part is that I have absolutely no side effects. Nothing has ever disturbed me. However, the bad part is that I don’t feel any real relief, almost no difference to what I was used to feel before I ever took it. however, I still have hopes that this medication would start to work because the guidelines tells that it can take up to half a year until the real effects start to appear and to feel a real difference. I really hope that in a couple of months I would be in a better condition than now without excessive fatigue and other symptoms as well. I guess it is too early to say something about Copaxone.

I finally got diagnosed with ms after a lot of tests. When I already understood that I suffer from ms, my neuro had to keep doing his test for entire months more. I was very tired, I was getting double vision at least once per month and my leg and stomach were going numb very much. When finally my doctor decided he put me this diagnose and put me on copaxone. The best drug ever for counter acting the ms effects. I am taking it for no less than 4 years now and I have no flare ups since then. Besides copaxone I am taking multivitamin and vitamin D daily. Here is what I wanna tell ya if you get diagnosed with ms: go a buy copaxone and take vitamin each day. It would save you. At least it helped me a lot and I recommend it to others too.

I am taking copaxone for 10 years minus few months and the results are very good. I have tried other medications too (as the majority here) but copaxone is also the only medication that works for me. Like any other medication and like any other reviewer I have some few troubles with it that doesn’t seem to go away but it’s nothing compared to how I feel after using it. well, the side effect I’m talking about is a pretty short heart palpitation. It is lasting for maximum 3 minutes and soon after that I’m having headache and I’m vomiting. Anyway, I am sleeping and when I wake up I’m completely fine. Anyway, this isn’t such a big problem as it seems to be because in all this almost 10 years I have had this scenario for no more than 8 times which means less than 1 time per year. That is why there’s almost nothing on what to complain. I remember my grandfather was also suffering from multiple sclerosis. Too bad that there was no copaxone that time.

I took copaxone a little more than one year ago and it doesn’t work for me. I was trying to search for some information about this drug and I found reviews about it saying that it is a good drug. I read many reviews about this drug saying that it’s the best and that it works very good and so on and few reviews really describing the way this drug works. Few people wrote that this drug has many and unpleasant side effects and I don’t really understand why. Maybe indeed it is a good product and there are only few people who cannot take it. If it’s so then unfortunately I’m one of them. Or maybe all those reviews were written by the company itself. Well, I don’t know. I only know that if here is someone else who cannot endure this drug’s effects then there’s another one really helping counter acting the multiple sclerosis effects. I’m taking gilenya for about a year and I’m feeling good, I have nothing to complain and what’s the most important is that I don’t have side effects compared to copaxone. Personally for me, gilenya is much better. From copaxone I had very nasty side effects and I got rid of the very and very hard, after more than one month after I discontinued taking this drug I was still having those side effects which include fly symptoms (aching all over the body, headaches, sweats etc.) and bad migraines. Well, it’s only up to you what you will choose!

I am taking Copaxone 40mg for less than a month. I took about 3 injections per week which means I took 9 injections. The only thing I have to say about Copaxone is that it works out just perfect. I really love that my insurance is covering everything. I was taking another drug but my insurance could not pay for it so I brought from my money. This one is just perfect! Not so long I even called the Copaxone’s guidelines so they sent a nurse to my house and she taught me how to use the auto inject and since then I can do it without any effort. Another thing that I really really love is that they have a 24/24 hotline for questions and this is sooooo helpful! I don’t know how it works for other people but for me is just purely perfect! I love how they are treating their clients and in general their product! Besides everything, another awesome thing is that I have NO side effects at all! MAYBE if you want to know, I get ONLY some welts that are noticed after the injection but within 15 minutes they are completely gone after putting a cold pack there! I don’t know how this thing works but after injecting these 40 mg of Copaxone it has only 2% of a chance to get an immediate post injection reaction! I would say that there are no chances at all. I felt that my foot is much more less numb after only the first week of taking this medicine! I’m very thankful to those who invented this drug! Since I’ve started the treatment I feel like I can control my life back again!

Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the end of 2013. Doc could not help for a period of time then he told me about Copaxone. It was about 10 months ago. Since then I’m taking only this medication, no other medications were taken since then (besides vitamins and probiotics) and I’m doing much better now. Finally I found something that makes sure I won’t have any more lesions. I notice big improvement in remembering anything even for a longer period of time. Moreover, I can normally concentrate on stuff I need to concentrate. This medication has changed my life to better. In the beginning it was a challenge for me to take the pills exactly in the same time every day but with time as my memory was improved and as I got used to this I’ve been doing just fine. Doc warned me that this medication won’t work for everybody and it can lead to some side effects. I consider myself a lucky one: I’m one of those on whom medication works + the side effects are very mild: no more than 1 time in 2 months (which means no more than 5 times since I take this medication) I had series of burning hot and itching rash on my face down to my chest including my neck. This rash was subdued each time within 30 minutes with no help of other medications. I’ve experienced no other side effect that this one. Btw, I’m still not sure whether Copaxone is responsible for these episodes but as I said, other medications I don’t take so it is very likely. Anyway, it is not a problem for me.

My memory losses started for a really long time but I was finally diagnosed with multiple sclerosis only in 2005. Until 2007 my situation was getting continuously worse and worse until I was forgetting everything by the beginning of 2008. My doctor recommended Avonex. At first I refused to take it but later I understood I had no choice so I took it. I was on this medication for a while but could not continue because of its side effects. Later I have started to take Rebif. The same situation – side effects (flu symptoms and insupportable headaches). I was forced to stop the treatment with it. Now, for full 36 months I’m taking Copaxone right before I go to bed and I have to say that this medication is the best I could find. I have no side effects as I did with previous medications and it works just great! The only not perfect thing is that I have like a dent in my legs and arms for a while after I inject the Copaxone. Anyway, it’s not a big deal compared to the benefits I have from it. I don't have any attacks back again, I can even do light housework and what’s the best thing is that I can feel back again that I live my life. I recommend this medication to those suffering from sclerosis and I would recommend to start the treatment asap.
