Injection Site Follow Up

My injection sites were horrible.  I have a pretty high tolerance for pain as i’m sue most people living with chronic illness do.  But the sites were not going away and keeping me up at night.  It felt like I was being repeatedly stabbed with needles.

I called Shared Solutions and spoke to a nurse.  She told me to heat the injection site for 5 minutes, then self inject, don’t ice, but put pressure on the site for exactly two minutes.

This helped SO much! The nurse explained that when you self-inject, you can go in at a 45 degree angle whereas with the AutoJect, it’s has to be a 90 degree angle.

I find that I have a lot more control over the injection doing it myself.  The nurse also rcommended that I massage the site 48 hours after, and NOT BEFORE!

Also, she was adament about not icing the site after. 

I personally have found that this has helped practically eliminate the injection site reactions, and made Copaxone a much more tolerable treatment for my MS.  Thank you to the Shared Solutions Nurses!
