there are new meds that are oral now.
i'd make an appt with your neuro to discuss this. i don't know what your disease process is but your dr should be able to talk to you about this.

i've been on copaxone since '03 and have tolerated it well, however, it's a daily sub q shot. i won't lie. you still can get site reactions but it's not like an IM shot. i had bad site reactions in the beginning but it got better over time.

i changed to manually injecting over the autoject and that helped.
and i have to say i'm really sick of injecting right now. i'd love to stop but don't want to suffer any relapse as i've been so stable.

let us know what you decide. i'd love to know what your dr says.
