Aurugghhhh!

My injection sites are a mess!

I use Copaxone daily shots with auto inject (also tried manual inject). Same results either way!

I litterally have welts where the injection sites are. I put ice on the area AFTER the shot....still ......lumpy, bumpy, itchy now bitchy!

Anyone else got this going on???????

" When I was on Copaxone I would get welts that lasted for days.. but the time I was to inject the site again it had just disappeared.. I would ice before and after and it still happened auto inject or manual it didn't matter... I don't take it anymore not because of site reactions, but for financial ones...

I used to apply Benadryl cream after an injection and that at least stopped the itching.... "

" Yuck..not itchy so bad as lumps and bruises. People used to ask me if my husband was hitting me. No one wanted to believe that a shot would do that. I eventually asked the dr if I could stop injecting on my arms because they were the worst effected. I'm no longer on copaxone and have to say I don't miss that part. Hang in there!! "
