Confused Copaxone

Oh dear, my precious. What's become of you?

I've been pointing and shooting manually since May 10, 2008. Without much issue. That is, until the last oh, 2-3 months.

The arms.

No matter WHERE I inject on that blasted chart, my arms ache and spasm. Horribly. For at least 30 minutes following the injection.

Are my arms getting over-saturated with the medication? What's going on? I'm pretty sure I'm not hitting a muscle every single time I inject here, and this certainly wasn't an issue within the first 6 glorious months of stabbing myself.

I know the arms have been an issue for others... and it's been mentioned about doubling up on bum bum injections (which doesn't sound bad, those are a break from everything else!).

Thoughts? Am I alone in this misery? Oh yeah.. still dealing with the 27's as well. Canada won't see the 29's till the summer at least.. but I'm happy no price hike and I just picked up another box of C tonight.
