Newer copaxone

[farmwife]

My doctor is switching me to the new version of copaxone that only requires shots 3 times a week. As always I am leary.. I have heard it has been around awhile. How is it working for you if you are on it? Thanks

I just got my box of the new Copaxone yesterday I'll start shots in five days or so I have a few of the old shots left, and your suppose to wait 48 hours between the old and new. we'll see how this goes.

Are the shots the same size? Daily shots have just not worked well for me, other health issues and things going on I just put my self on the bottom of the to do list. Finally I have my head focused back on myself. So I am excited about taking care of me again.

yes they are the same size. use the same auto injector. I can't wait to start. I'm just tired of sticking myself every night, and my skin is starting to show discolorations and indentations. they say the new copaxone has less site reactions, I hope so but I'm a skeptic, we'll see

Amen to that.

I called my doctor and told her to hold off on the switch, now that I am feeling more like myself I am just going to think about it for a week or so. It really has been a rough year for me and I am going to focus on my needs a little more. Part of that will be coming to this forum so I do not carry my load alone and maybe even be help to others. It feels good to be back Thanks

it's hard but sometimes you have to put yourself first.
