Any Doctors on tonight?
My wife has MS.
Last night she gave herself an injection of Copaxone. Mid right abdomen. Tonight she went to inject the left side and found redness, swelling & blistering of the skin. The Copaxone was picked up from the pharmacy yesterday. I have a photo of the issue. I have also marked the area surrounding the redness with penmarks. as well as a few around the blisters. Thickness of the blisters aprox. half of the height of a penny Thanks, Jim

Not a doctor, and not sure whats going on. But monitor her vitals. If she starts having trouble breathing of anything of that sort get her to the ER...
Def need to see a doc in the AM... |

At 11 pm the rash was on 7% of her torso.
Joanna woke up at 4am and the rash was around 25% or more. Hips to about the 2nd rib from the bottom. Joanna took two benadryl at 4am. Now its below 2% mostly at the sight that she injected. There's ink marks everywhere!

It may be same drug from another vendor. Definitely have to find out the deal before any further injections.

Can she try the new oral stuff, or is it now approved yet?
I get a lot of MS News from the Lone Star Chapter since I ride. I'm actually riding two MS150's this year. Houston to Austin (with 16,499 other people!) in April and the Boston to Provincetown in June.
