Well, I am going into my 4th month of copaxone and I am finally not having any site reactions and this is such a relief, I was considering to stop doing the injections but am glad I stuck it out. Just thought I would share. Happy New Year everyone!

Yay! I'm on my first month of injections and I didn't know they stopped! So that's awesome news! Congrats to you!

I was getting scared, thinking how am I going to keep doing this shot. It was painful, itchy, red, swollen, bruised...but it has gotten %100 easier. Now I can't even tell where my last shot was from the previous day.

LOL I told you they would ease up. I'm glad you hung in there. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yay you! Sometimes during the course you will experience a reaction but in the end, it resolves BUT you will eventually be left with the cellulite looking lipotrophy that I have (been using the stuff for 10 years and running out of real estate!) but it works so it's worth the lumpy bumpy mess. It is amazing what t shirts and sweat shirts cover and I can't shoot my legs so yay for shorts! Good luck and may it continue to do the trick for you.

Oh thank goodness. My site reactions are getting unbearable. --Been over 2 mo.

my site reactions are still huge welts and lasting several days at a time, some people must think Im being abused. A fun way to make hubby blush in public lol.

Ive been on it about 2 yrs now... so have moved to stabbing only stomach and hips mainly until they get to sore and go back to arms or legs....Dont think my reactions will ever stop.

MsRee, I know you told me yours eased up so I was impatiently waiting. Even my thighs didn't hurt this week!
