Being a maintenance drug it's hard for me to say I started out with nasty symptoms see here - http://www.squidoo.com/mstshirts . I came back and have not relapsed. I don't know if I can credit this to Copaxone or not. As a leap of faith I'd have to say it has helped me to stay stable. In my MS chapt...

The important thing is to stick with it (No pun intended)

The small amount of med leaking I do not think is a big deal. Try moving away from the center either towards the left or right. And try this set the needle to 8.

Your first month or so might be the meds, contact your Doc if it is persistent, I have found it to be the depth on the auto inject that bothers me most. Too deep and it stings. Too shallow and you get lumps

I never got an ok to do the back of the thigh let me check on that

Thanks I'll adjust by the area. I used to use 6 bat had a lot of lumps. Now I use 8, works great accept the front of the thighs it hurts like hell. I should have adjusted years ago.) but I'm a creature of habit

what setting do you folks use of you use Auto. inject

I'm going to try that Thanks

Running out of spots, had to give up the stomach and arms So I'm down to the legs and backside. At least the upper thighs are ok still.

Been at this for awhile, but that leg shot still hurts am I doing something wrong?

For me I went years with no reactions , but recently(2 months ago) I started to develop lumps . I ran across a nurse who said to try adjusting the depth, she was correct. Not deep enough and I had skin reactions and lumps. To deep and it stings I set the injector at 8 and it's been great for weeks n...
