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.
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. :-)

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
I just do a spiral pattern
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.
