I agree with Bird - let them know and then let us know what they say about the resistance pushing the med in - that is odd - haven't had that problem - have had a little of it oozing back out so leave needle in until count to thirty - that seemed to work for that problem -

I'm not on Copaxone anymore (not related to any "equipment" problems), and didn't have the dull needle problem that I'm aware of (used the Autoinject).. But I DID have a gnarly batch where the glass would break when the Autoinject hit it, shoving the entire needle as far as possible into my bod.. Needless to say, that made me a little paranoid every time I had to inject, but it was just in the one box...

I would have been more then a little paranoid - why did you stop the Copaxone ??

It was something my neuro had me use, even though he says I'm PPMS, which theoretically does not respond to CRABS..So when my company changed insurance companies last year and I had to go without for a couple weeks, I realized it was kind of a waste, so I quit..Everything is pretty much the same ~ just a very slow, steady decline..As long as it stays slow, I guess I'm happy with that..

Was on a very slow decline til last October then had a bad relapse out of no where and continue to. Have been on Copax since October but recently stopped due to 2 bad reactions from Copax.

I've been on Copaxone for 5 months now and so far so good.I had only one IRPI reaction it was with my first shot. I hate doing my shots in my thighs it hurts alot,but I think almost everybody hates that injection area.

It's really funny about those thighs...I couldn't stand them with Rebif (subcu), but I don't mind them with Copax....

Avonex (intramuscular) had to go straight down anyway, so I didn't mind them there either with Avonex....

J, did you have the "dreaded" reaction or allergic reaction? or what?
