Hi Deb,
I am sorry you are feeling the needle blues. I think we all go through that. You have to decide. It your decision. It does get to be a pain in the butt, most MS DM meds are needles or infusions.

I did Avonex and was always feeling flu-ish. I went on "C" for a few years and the needle was easy and thin. It go to be a habit, shower at night and shoot on clean skin.

Arm shots are hard. But I managed with the back of a chair holding my arm in a pinch of skin, and then I would shoot slowly.

I did slowly and manual. I had the holder that they send to you that holds the needle for hands that can't hold onto the small needle. That worked great. No the auto-injector, just the blue holder.

Then it stopped working for me. Also I had problems with it when it didn't need refrigeration anymore (allergy). So I was told to stop taken it. That was in 2005 or 2006 maybe..then I did nothing. Then I went on LDN 12-08.
