COPAXONE TIP #8
It is totally normal to have fears about possible medication
reactions especially with this disease. I have been on Copaxone
for about 6 1/2 to 7 years and the only reactions that I have had
that were notic eable and were a little bit of a nuisance are shot
site reactions BUT they truly are nothing compared to some of
the episodes (one of them being called a whoppersode by me) that I have had. The shot site reactions are very treatable if you do things like rotate the shot sites and sometimes just massaging a little soap in the shower or lotion gently the area if it gets hard where the medication builds up under the skin, mostly just be kind to yourself and rotate rotate, rotate. Never use the same site ore than once in a week. I have not had any new episodes in the time that I have been on it. I still have MS so the fatigue and residual disabilities from old episodes are still there, little reminders to just take it easy on myself. Rest assured sweetie it is great that you know about the possibilities with this medication. It is doubly great that you are doing so well with it right now. Just take it one day at a time (sorry for the cliche but it works) and pay attention to your body and stay hyperaware for any side effects that you may be having. Keep us posted if anything comes up! Send me an email if you want to talk more about this or anything. Keep rocking on baby...we are here for you :)
