Advice/Tips
Whatever ABC drug you choose, the biggest thing you need to do is stick with it! Be patient- it gets easier. The auto-ject is nice if you ar shot-shy. Make sure you rotate spots. If you get an itchy spot the day after- the bigget tip I learned was to get a good medicated skin cream- for instean Aveeno and massage the area gently. It really does help! Good Luck my friends!
Burden
Copaxone is an everyday medication (sub-q injection)- I look forward someday to the time when I can pop a pill, or when we have a cure all together!
