Dej, I can't remember if I talked about it at the time, but I had arm spasms from injecting there and my Shared Solutions nurse told me to skip the arms and do 6/7 shots weekly, doing 2 shots in the stomach.

Prior to that, I was a faithful 'shooter' .

Of course now, I don't even do any shots.

I've been doing my Copaxone every other day (ideally) for a couple of years now with no terrible effects. Sometimes I can't remember if it's shot day or not, so I might miss an extra day just for good measure. The cost was just breaking my bank account, and when studies started to come out showing every-other-day dosing to be effective, I jumped right on that bandwagon!
