Default My First Shot of Copaxone
I gave myself my first shot today. The nurse will be here on Tuesday to show me how to use the auto ejector but I think I will still do mines manually.

It was not that bad I didn't feel anything except the sting after the fact. and I seen a little bump later.

Congratulations! I did my first one with the autoinjector after watching the video. It took me a while to get up the nerve to self inject, great job!!

I just got my autoinjector in the mail today and should hopefully have the meds within the next couple weeks. Congrats on giving yourself your first shot - I hope I have an equally good experience!

I'm not currently on Copaxone, but I was for several years. I never could make myself do the autoject. Even as a full-fledged needle weenie, I prefered the control of injecting manually.

Congrats!!! I was on C for a few years and always self injected. I had too much trouble with the autoinjector and changing the depth based on the location I was "shooting" in to. It was more of a hassle than just doing it manually.

Good luck with the training and definitely have the training help you with the depth and settings for different areas.

Congratulations! The first shot is always the scariest. You crossed a big hurdle.

Hurrah!
