I picked up my Copaxone today. I was so excited at the thought of 29 gauge needles possibly being inside the box. Especially since my current box (thank goodness I only have 2 needles left) appears to have been full of dull needles, because I've never had so much trouble just literally pushing through the skin with the needles themselves.

Anyways, my new box of Copaxone is filled with gray capped needles. I hear the 29's are black capped? Why are there no 29's in my area, at least, at this point?!

Has anyone else received the 29's for Copaxone yet? Especially curious about Canadians and if they've received them.

I am expecting a new box this week. I will let you know. Last month I was so excited, and dang! grey caps! I want those smaller, thinner needles.

I just picked up a new batch and wow, the smaller needles. The cap is still the opaque plastic with the rubber part inside the cap is black.

I think they do make a bit of difference. The after injection welt seems to go away more quickly but so far that the only difference I've noticed so far.

There are new needles for the C??

Now I cant wait to use up this box.

Don't you just love it when the support team has no clue!!!

Did I tell you that I still get stuff from them and I haven't been on C since 2005?

And I also got one of the new Autojectors for Betaseron and I haven't been on Beta since 2004?

How does one get OFF their mailing lists??? I gave the autojector to the drug rep for Bayer with a nice letter in the box....

I asked for an auto inject for Beta and never got it. lol

I'm doing well! LEEP today. I'm up way too early (my nap from 4pm went till 9pm and screwed up my sleep schedule!). I'm excited to get the LEEP out of the way to be quite honest.

Otherwise... needles. Mine have always come pre-filled. The first time I asked about getting the ones you fill yourself, they told me at the pharmacy that, at least in Canada, they ONLY come pre-filled now.

If this is true or not, who knows? It's certainly all I've known!
