Multiple Sclerosis- I hate shots!!

Do you go through the trauma of injecting yourself with one of the disease-modifying medications every time you take a shot? I do. It has become so awful and stressful that I have contemplated not taking the shots for my Multiple Sclerosis. This is a bad place to be.

The only weapon I have against this terrible disease is the ABC drugs. I know that this is my best fight right now against MS but I hate it with a passion. I believe my stress centers around the injector tool. The one that accompanies Rebif is not nearly as good as the self-injector that I used when I was on Copaxone. Therefore, it takes me so much longer to inject and therein lies my stress.

My husband gave me my shot for the first time yesterday (I am certain he can not bear the agony of watching me go through this every other day) and it was not nearly as much trauma. It was fast, too. Who would have thought that I (a control freak) could relinquish this duty to someone else. Hmmm.
