Hi Macksmommy

My site reactions were much the way you are describing yours. After a few years, I started to notice that I got dents in my upper thighs that became pretty much a permanent feature. If I accidently hit a surface blood vessel, I would bleed and bruise pretty badly too.

You could try some pure Vitamin E oil (get it in the capsule that you swallow, pierce the capsule and squeeze a little onto the red areas) and massage in a couple of times a day. Ice and massage straight after the injection, and massage over the next few days may help you if they become lumpy and painful.

You may find that this all becomes more manageable over time. lots of people do.

I switched to Tysabri after 8 years on Beta - and I am very happy with my decision - even though I have found out that I am JC+ - but there are so many new treatments in the pipeline at the moment, it's hard to know which way to go.

If you find yourself thinking really black thoughts, or considering any type of self-harm, discuss it with your doctor immediately.
