Good Morning -

I have a question regarding side affect linked to Copaxone injections. I have
been using Copaxone for more than a year and have had only one slight
exacerbation (I think that was stress related - having unexpected loss my Dad.
For whatever reason, I have had a serious out break of Hives. I have had allergy
tests and maintain a regular diet -but cannot seem to get these hives under
control. My regular physician and Neurologist have decided that the Hives might
be related to Copaxone use. I have been prescribed a small dose of Prednisone
and Benadryl to try to get some control. Have you had any other MSers report
somthing like this? I am curious and am concerned that interruption of Copaxone
is not a good thing. I have never been keen on taking pills, etc. etc. - did
finally agree that I should try the Copaxone - now that I'm no longer "afraid"
of the daiy injections- this Hives outbreak has me a little kooky :>)

I look forward to hearing if others have had this experience.
Thanks -
