multiple sclerosis
"I was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago and started on Copaxone within a month. I chose Copaxone because it's a subcutaneous (tiny needle) rather than in the muscle injection and no flu like symptoms. During these 10 years, I have had only one flare-up. When I first started on the drug I had painful site reactions that lasted about an hour. After a couple of months these got less severe and soon became very mild and currently I have no injection site discomfort. I don't have much body fat and I suspect I was accidentally injecting into muscle tissue, which I understand can cause burning pain. Teva's Shared Solutions is a great and caring resource. Thanks Teva!"
