Re: The Copaxone experience/ it varies!

March 29, 2008

The base medium of Copaxone is Glatimir Acetate; I became severely

allergic to Glatimir Acetate and had to discontinue Copaxone. I have

scars from the hives three years afterwards. If ONLY it WERE actually

mixed only with sterile water! I loved Copaxone and feel that it did help

me and my own MS. I also developed infections at the injection sites.

I did not have this problem with Betaseron, Rebif, nor Avonex. Perhaps I

should have freaked out a lot sooner. Good luck to the husband!

Love to you all,
