I wish they would come out with a Silent or at least near silent autoinjector. And it's the angle issue too. Maybe I need to be on some anxiety pills or something I don't know maybe that would help me. Well, I got to leave for work now. See, you guys later Kristi

I never thought I could do a manual injection either. I finally got tired of the hugenormous welts the autoject was leaving me with. They were so painful I couldnt do a shot every day. Because I was waiting for welts from a week before to go down and heal so that I could inject. It was impossible for me to rotate because the welts were so huge.
I finally got totally frustrated, quit for a week or two, and then got my dad (he's a nurse) to teach me how to do manual injections. (my copaxone nurse took about 2 1/2 months to show up to teach me to use the autoject after I first got my Rx, I wasnt about to wait for her to show up again)
