Not to mention that the manual injections are easier than using the autoinflictor. You can control how quickly you inject, and doing manual injections is a lot more gentle to your skin. You dont have a harpoon blasting thru your skin.

I just passed my 1yr C-versary (Copaxone anniversary) I dont think I had made it to the six month anniversary before I switched to doing manual injections. So much easier, and really a lot less painful...still itches like crazy on my left leg a lot for some reason tho.
