Reading so many Copaxone posts

[MCBCON]

reminds me that I am avoiding poking myself with a needle for the first time in a couple years.  Well, here I must go do that.

Yeck, but I know I have wanting to get back on this regiments.

both :) and :(

one method for remembering where to do the current injection:

Take out the supplied alcohol  pads and number them with a pen/marker.

There are only so many injection sites.  Number them on a body map.  Inject the current dosage by looking at the number on the alcohol pad and body map.

I just do a spiral pattern

I do the copaxone macarena (do you remember that dance from 10-15 years ago?)  anyway instead of doing round-the--world injections (or around the clock) I do my injections in a pattern of stomach, thigh, thigh, hip, hip and arm, arm.  It just patterns in my brain a lot easier to remember.  I know I started on a Friday and I often stop and do the days of the week and the spots in my head before I know where I am supposed to inject that day.

Glad you're back on the wagon with us.... dreadful as it is at times, it really is our best option.

best, Lulu

Do you have the book/journal that Shared Solutions sends or gives out?  It should be helpful to you, if you use it every day to keep track of your injections.
I use mine everyday to help me....

BTW, I'm glad that you're taking your Copaxone again.  :-)

Went smoothly.  No pain except the sting that happens after injection.  Fortunately the needles are sharp and make the injection easy.  I do not use auto injector; for me it is easier to do it myself.


Forgot about the need for a sharps container.  They sent the container with the shipment of Copaxone.

The fun thing now will be to remember to rotate the injection site.
