I've been prescribed Glatiramer 40mg/ml Pf Syr, 12x1ml as part of my MS treatment plan. I was given a plan to inject it under the skin three times a week, but I'm scared about the side effects. The doctor listed it as important to report any symptoms like rash, swelling, or hives immediately. I've been reading the possible side effects and I'm terrified of the injection site reactions that can cause damage to the fatty tissue under the skin. Has anyone had severe reactions? I really want to manage my MS symptoms but not sure I want to risk these side effects. Are there any tips for dealing with the injection pain and other common reactions?
