Ok, so I took my first shot yesterday. Shots do not bother me, I am a nurse and have good techniques down to a T. I give myself a weekly b-12 shot. With all the talk about copaxone and site reactions and all, I was kinda worried about my first shot.
So, last night was my first shot. I did it manually. Did not take anything to pre-medicate (doc recommended some tylenol and benadryl) and did not ice before or after. I do not have so much as a red spot or pain this am. Can't even tell where I shot myself. I did not get a lump after the shot. The only thing that bothered me was a slight tingling after the injection for about 5 mins. Of course I know everyone is different, but of all the things I have read, most people have a site reaction of some sort.
