I have recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I am going to start copaxone injections in a few weeks and am concerned about any weight gain. Does anyone have any input on this topic?

Hi Kelkel,
Welcome to the MS community! I'm sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis, but I hope that you are doing well. There is a lot of information posted here and on various MS society websites, including the National MS Society.
Right after diagnosis, I started using Copaxone. Although some people online have talked about it causing weight gain, I don't think that that was the case with me. I may have gained weight because I became less active, but I don't think Copaxone had anything to do with it.
As a new patient on Copaxone, the Shared Solutions program will be there to help answer any questions you have regarding the drug.
I guess that you've already started using Copaxone by now. How is it going?
