Hello. Does anyone take injections to manage RRMS? If so, how often? I am currently on Tecfidera capsules but my doctor wants me to switch over to injection. How do you manage self injections. Any scarring? As a nurse I've given many injections to others, but self injecting seems scary. Any advise?
Piece of cake. Rotate the injections and use the auto injector if you can. It's really no big deal.
Well apparently since I've started Tecfidera 2 years ago, I've developed issues with my kidneys where protein is being released in the urine. Side effects from the med can cause kidney issues. My neurologist wanted to try the injection and see how that would work for me.
Thanks everyone for your advices. I might opt in for the injection at my next visit in 4 months :)
The everyday injection is a little painful. But, small needle. No scarring. Its not so bad.
I take one injection a day. Usually in the mornings.
I'm on copaxone...bee sting when you give the shot and ice helps after. Rotate the shots and figure out what places work best for you.
