Let the needle get to room temp and after you inject if you are self injecting leave the needle in the spot for about a 10 count that seems to help it not welt up or anything. Also ice before and after if you do get spots that come up. If you get the knot in the injection spot wait about 24 hrs and then you can massage it and it will go away. Hope this helps!

I started the 40mg a few months ago. No difference except you inject 3x instead of 7. Hope you have the same results.

I've been on the 40 mgs for 6 months now. I agree with everything GypsyKate has said!! I have only had one problem with the switching! My lips are tingly and numb. I have an appointment with my neurologist next week so I'm going to ask her about it. I'll let you know if it has anything to do with the 40 mgs.!! Good luck,,,,

Been on it for a month now. I get huge lumps and major itching after every injection. Spoke with nurse and shared solutions today about symptoms. Trying a new dial on the auto injector. They told me people who are more on the skinner side have been experiencing the same thing I have. They told me after doing a studies, it showed there were less of an inflamed limp with heat before and ice after injections. Also the 24 hour wait period to massage the lump. Going to try heat myself once I get an extra gel pack from shared solutions. They are great! They send you free supplies as needed. I have a spare auto injector coming, extra gel packs for cooling and heating, a travel kit and set up on the copay support.
