Injection

I need some advice, I inject myself with plegridy twice a month but this time I'm so anxious. I should have injected on Friday and I still haven't managed to do it. Does anyone have any tips on how to get over the anxiety I feel silly but at the moment I feel I can't do it.

Upper thigh dancing after injection

I just gave myself my Copaxone shot in my upper right thigh and as soon as I did it started visually twitching. Could I have possibly injected it in my muscle by mistake? It's never happened before. It feels kind of crazy!๐Ÿ˜‚ I always manually inject.

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?

Pain at injection sites Copaxone

Hello, So I've been taking great care with where I'm injecting and rotate them not injecting in the same area more than once a week. Usually I'm lucky not to have any pain for days afterwards but the past three injection sites are very sore which makes having today's injection quite difficult. Not...
