You guys are great! I appreciate all of your advice!

Thanks!

The weird kind of soreness left in my sleep...so I'm up and thinking about tonight's itch attack! I'm really not looking forward to that!

I called Shared Solutions and told them I went ahead, I was tired of waiting on a nurse and they seemed to think that was humorous...maybe they'll get me one out here soon!

I at least watched that little DVD so I knew not to rub it....man did I want to! Rebif, you can rub all you want!!! LOL

Rochelle, I hope you are an oddball with feeling better not taking the shots!

I will call SS and ask about the Benadryl creme, that makes sense! Thanks Guys!

At least ya didn't get that weird breathing thing that some get. I hope it works for you girl! Jim's beta nurse never showed up either and they never sent the auto inject. Pee pee on them, we got it down just fine. lol

Hey, how come we haven't talked on the phone lately? I think a three way call with Becky is in order. Pronto! I am having southern talk withdrawl.

I have the autoinject, but I swear it looks like something from outerspace!!! I have manually injected that Avonex long enough that that little old needle on the Copaxone didn't look too scary!

Agreed, phone call in order!

I agree, after Avonex anyone can manually inject! :p

Ok, I will speak to Becky or you tell me when it's good to call.

I had three boxes of C in my refrigerator before the nurse even called me.

I'm finally getting all caught up on the backlog of those three boxes. I guess SS actually listened to me when I told them to not call me for a few weeks.

I need to call them because both of my autojects quit working. One, the spring snapped and you can hear it rattle inside...the other one, I think the spring is about to snap because it's not injecting the syringe totally. Last night after it stopped halfway. I took the syringe out of the autoject and squirted it into the sink to see how much was left. Almost half the syringe!

Oh, Birdie,

I was so hoping you would sail right on through the Copaxone since you did so well on Avonex. It's probably just going to take while but you are such a pro with all your injection experience. I would think the autoinject would hurt.

I sure don't jab my Avonex shot. I learned from you the slower, the better.:)

I don't know what Sandy means about southern accents, do you? She is the one with the Chi town accent. LOL:)

Becky:)

:)That's great bird that you've jumped on the C train. I've been on C for 4 months and I pray to GOD that this drug works for me too.

Shot number two was in my thigh....I used the 45 degree method, since I'm not really huge in that area! I was waiting on the bee sting effect....only really surprised - this time it down right HURT!!! The pain even effected my walk! I was stunned!! Again, the whole worst of it probably lasted 30 minutes, but I was really shocked!

And I have a little bruise from shot number one on my tummy!

This morning I am fine again...this Copaxone is going to take getting used to!

Thanks for your kind words everyone!

Kristi, has the bee sting gone away by now? I hope???!!!

I'm on my way to the doctor's office about my thyroid, again. I'll talk to you guys later!

Did you inject too quickly? or into a muscle?

My second shot with the autoject, I was just a bit too far down on my leg and injected into a muscle or something that you shouldnt inject into...my leg did not like that at all. I sat and cried because it hurt a LOT!

Hey,Bird the bee sting feeling I still get it sorry to say,I would say it's a little better now then in the beginning so that's good. OMG, I hate doing my shot in my thighs it hurts more and I've hit a couple of veins there :eek: in fact this morning was right thigh day and it took me forever to do it LOL. My stomach,hips don't bother me really at all,my arms sometimes bother me,but my thighs are the worst. I too have gotten small bruises on my stomach.
