What Are The Side Effects Of Copaxone?

how do side effects compare between Copaxone and the generic brand I have had MS for over 38 years and been on Copaxone since 2004, having been on Betaseron and Avonex before the Copaxone . I have had very little changes in my yearly MRI and my MD wants me to change to the generic brand. I am afraid I will have another flair and go blind again. Most of my lesions are in my head with one on c7. I am a retired RN and have my MSCN The only reason they want me to change is that Kaiser gets a better price on the generic.
