thanks Bird! Very helpful -- I think have gotten a dull needle and one that came out of my body bent after using the auto-stabber. It sounds like there is a good "Copaxone Club" (CC) in this group. By the way, why did you got off Avonex and Rebif?

Whoohoo!!!

I did a Copaxone shot manually today for the first time in my stomach. 2 hours later I can't even tell I did it -- I can barely see the pin prick. Definitely less of a reaction than with the auto-stabber.

Only thing is...those damn needles! I definitely felt resistance sticking it in -- can we get thinner needles (like diabetic needles) and attach them to the copaxone syringe?????

I dont think so. Just remember how many dull ones you get, and report it to Shared Solutions. They'll send you replacement shots.
