| 3 | MS | The usual redness and itching at injection sites with some bruising. | On 9/29/11 I had a severe IPIR. The symptoms included flushing, exreme anxiety, severe back pain in the kidney area and the feeling that I was going to pass out. The ambulance was called, but by the time they arrived all of the symptoms were gone except the anxiety. The SS nurse, who responded promply assured me that everything I described to her was quite normal for a PIR and that she had heard these same symptoms 4 or 5 times that day. My Neuro doc said to to stop taking the Copaxone for 1 week, but I have so far not had the courage to inject again. I am in the process of changing Neurologists and so wil get a second opinion before a take a chance on this happening again. | M | 55 | 5 years 20 ml inj. 1X D | 10/17/2011 | |
