A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Witbank, ZA

Can anybody please advise me with my Injection sites. I inject 3 times a week and ran out of space to inject. My skin is bruised and painfull. I can only inject on my upper legs or my bum. Mu arms are to thin and stomach.area hurts like hell. I sometimes sit and examine a space.to inject whilst im crying and feeling sorry for myself.

Definitely check into switching meds - - been on Tecfidera and just started Copaxone. Of the injections (Avonex and Rebif), I like Copaxone at the moment as the best as I had the least pain I've ever had, even just starting.

I was on copaxon but the shots were painful. Not the actual needle but if was the medicine. It left welts and I was sore for days. Off copaxon now and waiting for approval for gilenya.

I have switched and moved in all areas but injecting Rebif for 2 years all those areas are so tender i cry everytime.The oral therapy is out of my budget. Tsybri I think its called is suggested for once a month go hospital sit for 2,hours on drip. So scared of side effects as apparently u can get pml. I am negative for JC virus so I can go on any treatment.
