HEY Robin .. now we can do our shots together as we quilt!!

now - you were told:

1 - about the same time everyday ... AND

2 - do a different area each time .. and rotate:

this is my schedule I keep on a calendar .. I know the day now by the shot - will be 10 months on C already!

SUNDAY - LEFT ARM :: LA
MONDAY - RIGHT THIGH :: RT
TUESDAY - RIGHT ARM :: RA
WEDNESDAY - LEFT STOMACHE (LEFT OF BB) :: LS
THURSDAY - INTERCHANGE :: ONE WEEK RIGHT BACKSIDE HIP/ LEFT BACKSIDE HIP :: RH // LH
FRIDAY - LEFT THIGH :: LT
SATURDAY - RIGHT STOMACHE (RIGHT OF BB) :: RS

believe it or not .. the stomache is the less painful .. after you swipe the area down with pad ... hold the glass needle in your hand and count to 60 (so that it dries!! if it don't .. it WILL burn) ... and by holding it - it'll warm up .. I take mine out each day before I take a shower .. then - take my shower ... then shot ... it's all routine now.

email or call if you have questions my quilting buddy!!

OH .. and don't shoot by any scars (like appendix or c-section scars etc) ... and if you use the autoject ... turn it down to 4 when you do your legs - and the swelling and redness will go away .. it may itch/burn because the area wasn't dry enough before you stuck yourself ...

P.S. I LOVE COPAX ... and after 6 months on it - had my follow=up MRI - and the neurologist was happy to say that there are no NEW lesions ... so keep doing what I'm doing ...
