Okay, I have to confess - I stopped using the alcohol wipes....I kept forgetting and then when I did it, I realized that it stung more when I used them - which I see is apparently from not letting it dry.

On other issues - No problem with the med not making it to the fat layer. I'm all fat layer. LOL. "very cushioned" - I like that phrase, thx, Fin Lady.

When the Copax nurse came out a while back to train me - she walked in my house, tiny little thing that she was, looked at me - and said, "Oh, you're a big girl, this is gonna be easy!" ...and I thought to myself, "I think she just called me fat!"

The pain went away after about 20 minutes last night.

I'm not brave enough to try the heat again. However, I took out the shot in the morning and it is now after 10pm and I will use it shortly. Sigh.

One day I may be brave and try the manual inject. Eeeek.

But my question still remains: HOW can you tell if the needle is dull??
