Multiple Sclerosis
"Really nasty side effects - The injections are so painful that I had to find ways just to tolerate the pain.  I put a Lidaderm patch on as soon as I take the shot.  This helps with the pain, but then I get these large welts that last for days and are very itchy.  I found a Lidocane cream to help with the itching, but suffer from having under the skin turn into a leathery hard tissue.  These do heal, but the constant assault on my body has been a nightmare.  I went off the drug, three weeks later had a serious relapse.  I am back on the drug, I have tried everything, using the autoinjector, not using it - nothing really changes how the drug affects me. "
