Hello,
My name is Mirela and my husband is newly diagnosed with MS. He is supposed to have the class with a nurse this Friday to learn how to inject himself with Glatopa and the auto inject. I was wondering how it's going? Do u see a different with Glatopa and Copaxone? I am really concerned as I have heard so much about Copaxone and want him on the brand name one even though they say it is identical. I also have Kaiser. I really hope to hear from you. I came across your blog by accident and I really would like your advice. My husband is 32 by the way. Thank you :-( Mirela

Mirela,

Hello there! Thanks for your email pertaining to your husband... and I am glad you accidentally found my blog! Your email was a good reminder for me to post an update about my Glatopa experience, so thank you. (http://danielle-ms.blogspot.com/2015/11/2-month-glatopa-update.html)

I may be reiterating what I posted on my blog, but I wanted to reply back to your email. I know everyone's experience and journey with MS is different so I can only work with what I've been through :) For my experience with MS and the Rx I have been on, I would have to say I am lucky. When I started administering Copaxone, I occasionally experienced the temporary site bump/swelling but I haven't had reactions to cause any alarm with either Copaxone or Glatopa. I am someone who researched all about MS to educate myself even before it was confirmed I had RRMS. My initial neurologist was amazing, I make sure to take advantage of continuing education luncheons Shared Solutions offers, and most importantly I have a positive attitude ... things could be much worse.

How is it going.. for myself the swap from Copaxone wasn't difficult, as far as administering the medication went. I honestly was a slightly freaked out to change to Glatopa, but I think it was the 'it is a change' nervous. You know how they say, why change something if it works?! That was what I thinking, but looking back I wouldn't worry. :)

I am not sure how your husband is with needles, but I was a complete chicken. Then this diagnosis happened and I had to get my needle phobia pronto. The autoject helped me tons!

Let me know if you and/or your husband have any further questions. My apologies for not responding sooner, but my husband and I have a new puppy and so our schedules/lives are a little jumbled up.

Take care,
Danielle
