Starting copaxone

[pballer76]

My neuro wrote a script for copaxone. He said I have been on Avonex, rebif, tysabri and tecfidera. You might as well try copaxone. He is also sending me to a ms specialist.
How long did it take for shared solutions to contact you?
I'm not super excited about sticking myself but I did it before I can do it again.

Wow. You've tried it all, seems like! When I started Copaxone, Shared Solutions contacted me within days. I wouldn't worry too much about the injection. The needles are tiny! The first 2 days were strange, because I was sticking a needle into myself, but now I use the autoinject device, and I'm so used to it (it's been about a year) that I barely give it a thought, even while injecting. You can get used to anything.

I went several months between deciding to start Copaxone and actually getting it, but I never bothered to figure out whether the MS clinic or SS was the one dropping the ball. Also, I was due for some back surgery at the time and wasn't exactly pushing hard to start Copaxone beforehand...

But eventually SS called to arrange for delivery and a nurse visit and it all came together quickly.
