Default Copaxone and lipoatrophy

I haven't seen this addressed here before, but I wanted to know how many Copaxone users have experienced the destruction of fatty tissue in injection sites.

I have indentations on my thighs as big as my hand and similar on the backs of my arms, on my hips and stomach. Unsightly, but not really a problem, until I discovered you cannot continue to inject in the "dead zone." I talked with Shared Solutions and the nurse I spoke to offered to send out a nurse to re-train me. I don't believe that I am doing anything wrong. I rotate the sites. The nurse then suggested I may want to see my neuro. I was going to see her, but do I need to have these areas assessed or at least brought to my drs. attention?

Thanks as always for your support and input.
