I will be starting on 20mg Copaxone injections on the 25th...just wondering....anyone taking Copaxone have an impaired immune system because of it? Do you feel like you get sick more often that you did before taking it? Just checking since it says it can impair it. thanks!

No. I am a public school teacher of elementary school children. I am never sick. It has not changed my immunity to common illnesses at all.

I've been taking Copaxone for about 2 months, and I recently caught 2 nasty infections, which I don't usually get. I am concerned about my immune system, and will be checking this with my doctor.
