Injection wise I've done Avonex into muscle once a week
Used auto injector ... then Copaxone 3 times a week subcutaneous so not as deep didn't use auto injection for that one
It's very intimidating and a lot to comprehend at first
Nurses come and do training with you
It's helpful to have someone with you if you can
Good luck to you

Since diagnosis in 2010, I've been on Copaxone and then its generic form glatiramer acetate. It's a daily injection that I'm super happy with along with ZERO episodes in 13 years 😁

take copaxone 3x a week. This drug has the least side effects for your organs or any other part of your body Only on the local site might be red might get like a little lump if you use the auto jet it's really easy and the nurse will show you how to use it. I've been taking copaxone for 43 years. My MRI has never changed I never got worse in my brain In fact when I first started taking the drug within a year I was walking with high heels I was young of course. In those days it weren't three times a week but Daley injections 20 mg instead of the 40 mg three times a week. Make sure you're getting the authentic drug made by Teva and not a generic.
