PLEASE dont push on Copaxone when you inject. its made of very sharp crystals and if you push on it, it causes those crystals to rupture, and that causes fat destruction. you can gently place an ice pack on it, or put firm pressure around the outside area, but avoid pushing into the middle of C. I learned that the hard way. With BRA you must push to get the meds deeper, but C is different and when you fracture those crystals, it not only makes your med less effective, it does tissue damage.

I hate this disease. Too many rules. Push for this, dont push for that. Rub this, dont touch that. Put this in the fridge keep this at room temp. Use an injector for this, its easier without an injector for that. ...too many rules!
