HI,

I am new to this group, but have been using Copaxone since September
of 05. I have had an outbreak of hives once and it was directly
related to copaxone. As soon as I injected in my upper arm, my whole
arm began to itch. Immediately, large welts appeared all over the
left side of my body (the side I injected into). They lasted for a
few days, and finally cleared. I had been taking Zyrtec (sp?) daily
to help with the itching and swelling I reguarly experienced at
injection sites, so that may have helped it clear faster.

I hope this helps. Best of luck!!
