Agreed! Auto-inject was the only way for me to go! I also don't like needles, so it somehow felt less invasive - and it helped when my boyfriend would do it for me in harder to reach places (or just so I wouldn't know exactly when it was coming!). Another reason to use it: I found that different needle depths worked better for different injection sites. It's really easy to control the depth on the auto-injector, and easy to change it for different sites. Getting the depth right made the shots a lot less painful for me. I got huge welts that would last for days for the first couple months, but then once I got the depths set, it wasn't so bad.... Good luck! And if you ever need a spare auto-injector, I have two brand new ones still in the boxes.... I'm using Tecfidera now. Lastly: call Shared Solutions and ask for the Copaxone travel kit! It's really great to have when you travel - it has a cool needle clipper so you can safely dispose of needles and syringes on the road. And it's a semi-hard lined case so it protects your syringes from damage/temperature issues when traveling.

I like the auto inject because I have a phobia to needles and this way i don't see the needle until its done. I have to inject myself daily

I used to give myself an intramuscular injection of Avonex once a week. Getting used to taking a pill once a day.
