For a very long time now, I have been faithful to taking my everyday shot everyday. At my last check up, they asked how many times I skip a shot. I said NEVER! why? am I allowed to? I was shocked when he said once every couple of months to take a mental health day off, or a massage day to work out some of those lumps, wont hurt you one bit. Ever since then I try about once a month or every six weeks to take a day off to do a full massage on some of those leftover lumps.

Do you skip shots? how often? What do you tell yourself to justify it? I am such a by the book kinda girl, that even on those massage days I feel guilty. There are days I sit with that needle in my hand, and have such trouble bringing myself to do it, but I know if I start skipping days, it will become a habit.

Do you skip shots?

I have only missed once, when I was in the hospital. Knowing me the way I do, I figure if I take a a day off it might be habit forming and I'll end up taking more days off than shots. I don't take a daily shot though, so it has got to be harder to stick with the program day in and day out.

I've been really bad lately...sometimes I skip 2 days...I either forget or not in the mood to hurt myself. I'm tired of the regimine...

Every now and then I do a drug free weekend. No 4-Ap or Copaxone. I still do my dose of LDN because its so innocuous and I love the dreams. I especially have no problem not doing the belly shot.

When I was still taking shots (for about 3 1/2 years) I never, ever skipped one. I'm very routine oriented.

I'm really bad about skipping shots. (copaxone)

Couple of times a week probably. When I first started tho, I did pretty good for about the first year and a half...

I had to take a refresher on giving meds and I had to learn to give glucogon and insulin shots. Just that training threw me that weekend, I had the hardest time giving myself my shot for some reason.

I'm one of those by the book people most of the time. I take Avonex once a week, I do pretty good unless I take a break from doing my own shot. I've let my hubby give it in my arms and then I had a really hard time doing it myself again. I can see how you can want to miss a dose, every day would be hard, sometimes if I've had a bad reaction I fine myself thinking about it all day and dread it terribly, but I still reluctantly do it.

I have not been taking the Avonex with me when I travel. Take the shot the night before I leave, then the night I get back. With week long trips this only changes the shot a couple of days. This year I am going for a little over two weeks, still won't be bad.

I'm on Avonex so sonetimes it's hard to remember every Monday night. But I do have a huge problem with procrastination. Or is that just an excuse? So I have done some really bad things like take a shot that I had missed on Saturday and then my regualr one on Monday!!! I think one week I actually took two shots at one time. Yes, I am bad.

...every other day. Have to write it on my calendar, cause they all start running together....BUT, THANKS for the reminder, seriously!!!!!!!!!!! Tonight is shot night! Gotta open my new shipment!
