How I do it

I was told by the Shared Solutions nurse to start at a 6 with the Autoinject 2 device.  I didn't think about it at the time but, so, I start at a 6, am I supposed to stay there and consult with my neuro in 2 months when I see him again if 6 isn't working?  This Shared Solutions is silly and stupid.  I really don't want them calling me monthly to see how I am doing, especially since they always call in the middle of the working day.  I would rather have the doctor check on my progress weekly for the first month, then monthly for the first 6 months. But the great American Medical Institute has come up with this"Shared Solution" instead. UGH.  I guess to give you some idea I started in my right arm because I am left handed.  So my rotation goes right arm, left arm, tummy, right leg, left leg, left butt, right butt, and repeat.  The first injection I gave myself literally did not hurt, I didn't even feel it.  Then it started to sting about 2 minutes later.  But that just lasted a minute or two and no welt, no itching, no nothing.  I thought I can do this, but a month later I have started having the reactions and I wasn't sure if they were normal or not.  I am posting what all the reactions look like and how I am going about determining the right depth for my rotation. Since today is Monday I will be injecting my left thigh.  I have taken some not very good pics of the injection sites from last week.

This is my right thigh.  This injection site is 8 days old.  It is right above my knee the whole top of my right thigh was still bruised last week from the two previous weeks, that is why I did this one so low.  It doesn't itch anymore but it still looks like I have a rash.
  If you look at the top left there is a red line closer to my knee.  That is a dent from the shot, it is the first time I have ever given myself a shot there and after the rash went away there was a dent, bye bye fat.

This is my left thigh.  This is the injection site from two weeks ago, and you can kind see closer to the knee the last of the bruising healing from 3 weeks ago.  This one doesn't itch either, but someone looking at my thighs might think I went frolicing in posion ivy.

This is my abdonmen. This reaction still itches, it is 3 days old.

This is my right thigh from yesterday.  Itchy, Itchy.  Ugh the worst part about the legs is your pants rub against them and make them worse.

This is my fat white left thigh.  I drew a square on it so you can see how the reaction changes over time.  This is pre shot for today.

This is right after giving myself my shot.  You can see the little red dot and the circle impression from the Autoinjector.

This is 20 minutes after giving myself the Copaxone shot.  It looks and feels like a misquito and bee stung me in the same place.  And you can kind of see the 4 week old bruise thatis almost gone.  I had forgotten about it bruising there until I looked at the picture.
