Copaxone

Hi, Ive been on Copaxone for 3 months and noticed a signifigant weight gain, hair loss and most of all severe back pain.... is this normal?

I have been on Copaxone a little over a year. Always get injection site reactions but now I have breast tenderness (where lymph nodes are located) a cough and have had thrush (caused from dry mouth). I skipped yesterday and now I am scared to keep taking. Doctor insists none of this is caused from Copaxone. without even seeing me.

I have been on copaxone for a year and I am satisfied with its performance but I am experiencing hair loss is there anything I can do to stop this? *DONT_KNOW* :(

I'm just starting on copaxone!!!! I have been research on this med to see what side effect it has! Well I'm about to see what this med going to do to me!

What have you done since your reaction.  My daughter has been on copaxone for a few months and had a reaction the first time and the second time it was so severe she was in the emergency room twice in the mater of three days. She will now have to begin a new medication.  What are you doing?

I have been on copaxone for a few years. Occasionaly I would have a reaction to the injection within a minute after injecting.  Within the past 6 months the reactions are becoming more frequent.  These reactions include chest pains, difficulty breathing dizziness, vomiting, diareaha, spotting, and in a couple cases very bad lower back pain and not able to move for a short time.  I am fine when i give myself the shot then within a minute it all changes.  Very scary!!  After maybe an hour or so some of those reactions subside and then I become extremely cold and begin to shiver and my teeth begin to shatter out of control.  This may last up until another hour.  Can other people please tell me if these bad reactions happen to them.  

I experienced a severe visual impairment, white sparkling lights to point of sight loss, distorted audio , near loss of bodily functions, severe h/a, sweating, chest pains, taste of the medication? in my mouth, unable to respond or move. It was horrible, I was alone.  The chest pain and h/a continued for 2 days. I felt like my whole body was being shocked.

I have had reactions to every MS med I have been put on. The last, Copaxone, has been the worst yet.  I thought I was dying, almost lost consciousness.
