i know EXACTLY how you feel.

I was on Copaxone daily for years and shooting everyday was a royal pain. I used to sit with the needle in my hand and just cry and have to talk myself into poking myself. With or without the auto inflictor didnt matter. Actually I liked manual shots better than the auto inflictor. That thing was violent!

Find a quiet time to do your shot. Take a deep breath. Relax as much as you can. Give yourself a treat after and take a few minutes to get over the sting and burn of it all.

its like brushing your teeth or hair, you do get used to it, and it can become part of your daily routine. If you are not taking it EVERYDAY you are not going to get the benefit of this medicine. As my MD said please do it everyday, or call me and lets talk about finding another med to put you on. Taking it now and again doesnt do anything to halt this disease.

Hang in there.
