Have ms. on copaxone (glatiramer) but missed a few doses. worried about my brainstem lesions and if they mean a worsened prognosis or risk of death?

No immediate risk!: Consult your specialist to make sure that your Copaxone (glatiramer) has prevented MS relapse Usually an MRI with and without Gadalinium injection would tell us if the condition is active Although you should take your Copaxone (glatiramer) regularly missing couple of injections is not a big problem but don't miss anymore!! There is NO risk of death
