Advice/Tips
I did a bit of research on patients taking copaxone prior to beginning treatment and I decided to go with manual injection. Compared to the one instance I used the autoinjector (with the SS nurse during training), I believe this was the right choice for me as the manual injections seem less uncomfortable. That being said, I'm still keeping an eye on oral meds slated for FDA approval in the near future.
