Wiz,
Just be careful of the darkening of the skin...my thighs are a grayish tint now.
Dr. W told me to set the Autoject to an eight so it really goes subcutaneous (the Copaxone nurse had told me to use a 4). I have less welting and bleeding. He also told me if I don't want to do it in the arms, then don't. Also, instead of doing it in the front of the thigh, he told me to inject in the outside of the thigh that has more of a fat pad. And the abdomen can take more injections as well.
Don't forget to take a cotton ball and press into the injection site for one minute after injecting. Seems to reduce the welts as well...
Good luck, dear...let us know how it goes!
