It doesn't happen often, but sometimes after my injection I can't breath properly, it feels as if there is no air to breath, it soon passes though and so long as you stay calm and quietly wait it's fine.

Been using Copaxone now for just over 6 years. Very happy with it. Can be sore sometimes just after injection but that passes very quickly. I autoinject and I’ve found if you change injector every few months that does help as injector does get sludged up after while.
