Injection time
It's time to psych myself up for the Avonex jab. I'm finding it harder and harder to do every time and I can go for weeks without being able to do it. Do you inject? Do you find it difficult? How do you deal?

I used to take Avonex and inject myself. I, too, found it very difficult. Do you live with anyone that can do it for you? I wish I had advice on how to make it easier for you. I used to just do it quickly when I did it myself and then, others offered to do it for me and that helped.
When I was on Avonex (no longer), I found that you have to really relax so your muscles aren't tense. I injected into my leg and tried to avoid any veins which I could see. Just stay calm but do it swiftly...it will get easier!
