2 | RRMS | Bee sting feeling, welts, itching, heart palpitations | The worst reaction I had came when I also experienced lots of blood from the injection site. I assume I hit a vein. The result was chest constriction, heart racing, feeling like I would faint. Little bothers me usually so I was alarmed. Luckily the bed was close by and it passed quickly. Now, after 6 months, I am experiencing itching all over my body, plus more intense itching at the injection site. Prior to Copaxone, I had been on Rebif and Avonex, with no day-after effects. | F | 56 | 6 months 20 MG 1X D | 4/1/2011 | |
