Shooting Up...Again Mood
Friday, July 25, 2008 | A General Update story
The "home injection training nurse" came over today to teach me how to inject myself with my new shot. Copaxone.

It was a breeze. Seriously..after being poked as many time as I have in the past 2 years.(and not in the good way)...a daily shot is nothing.

Now..I just have to sit back and hope that this medicine will do its thing and WORK. Since Avonex and Tysabri didnt do squat..I'm hoping this will slow my MS progression.

Cross your fingers.

Love, Peace and Chicken Grease

    You are so right when you say 'a daily shot is nothing'. It really isn't after that horribly large needle for Avonex. I used both of them. I am now using Tysabri. You are the first person that I have heard say that it didn't help. I'm interested in hearing more.
