    repeat injection sites

    I am on day 35 of C I've been rotation injection sites and haven't had to use the same site yet. What is the recommended time frame before I can re-use an injection site? I think I saw the info somewhere, just can't remember.

    Kitty, the injection sites are large, the size of your hand except stomach, where the site is the the entire circumference around the belly button. Maybe move within the site, top, bottom, middle, etc. to avoid hitting exactly where you did it last.

    I don't know how long so I can't answer your question, however, in the 6 years Ive been on Copax (2,190 shots), I'm positive I hit the same site.

    Good luck with Copax, I hope you have positive results!

      The SS people recommend using one site per each day of the week, and they mark the arms as having space for 4 shots, so that implies that a month off between shots in a single spot should be sufficient.

      I found the SS book/calendar a pain for tracking the sites, so I use "MedNotesPlus" on my phone (Android).

      NOT ALL SX ARE MS!
