In my nearly 3 years on Copaxone I was about as careful about rotating injection sites as anyone could be. I kept charts going, a page for each part of the body I was using, and on each page I mapped out 4-19 injection areas and wrote the date in the box for the area every time I used it and made sure that the next shot for that body part was nowhere near the previous shot.

I have lipoatrophy dents though. I mainly did manual shots but switched to the autoject for the arms after a couple of years.

Some people get these dents, and some don't, apparently.

I was concerned about running out of places to inject though the lipoatrophy wasn't my reason for stopping Copaxone. I just didn't think it was going to help me. And it was causing some unpleasant bowel problems.
