Thanks Patti! It is soooo hard to stay off of them, now I know why people say it's easier to never start than to quit... at least 9 times a day I am still saying to myself "it will be easier if I just have a cigarette," LOL!! Supposedly I won't stop thinking about it ALL THE TIME until about the 4th month nicotine-free? I'll probably break before then. :P
Sorry for hijacking your original post, Sasha - I tend to do that a lot! You guys should probably block me from responding to your stuff... LMAO!!!
This post is soo extremely true and I found myself kinda giggling a bit because I too have the same issue.
Last Friday I actually went into my neuro office and I let him know that I was not EVER giving myself a shot in my thigh EVER again. He kinda looked at me and said "ok" lol I think I stunned him. Poor guy lol.
I have yet to quit smoking either Patti!! I will when I'm ready. UGH.

LOL, yes those thighs are the WORST. I hate them worst of all. YUCK. the nurse told me to skip thighs next rotation and try them again the time after that. I loved those words so much. Your comments to the neuro made me smile really big! LOL, that is awesome!

Told my neuro that he and my dh were not big enough to make me shoot in the thigh again. I have plenty of belly fat and hip fat. Don't know why but I tried shooting in thigh 4 different times on different legs and in different sites on the thigh and it was always extremely painful.

Lots of us are anti-thigh around here, huh? Maybe we should have a chant or something.... "Thighs are moot - we won't shoot! Thighs are moot - we won't shoot!" HAHAHAHAHA.

Sorry guys. I had a very long day. LMAO
I like it. Thighs are bad, that is my story and I am sticking to it!

I take the Rebif shots, and my legs(thighs) do the same thing!! I bleed no where else but when I do the legs it hurts!! It's sore for SERVERAL days!! and I bleed like a stuck hog!!LOL I usually only do the legs when I have "run-out" of other places. I have bad site reactions every where except my arms, but my arms get so sore! I call them my rasberrys!!

My arms get sore too. When you say "site reactions" what do you mean? My areas get kind of red, and itch for awhile. Is that a site reaction? The thigh ones get really red, inflammed and bleed on and off for a day. They stay red for 4 - 5 days. I know those are reactions! That much I figured out! LOL

my reactions are about the same, but they are bruse and then I run out and I just end up VERY sore and the red spots are like the size of a siver dollar and bruses too, they itch and are just bothersome and sore.

Thighs are the WORST for me too! I have pretty muscular thighs so I have it on the lowest depth setting but it still never fails to give me a good 4-5 inch welt, insane itching, and burning (even when I take benadryl)!
Last night my leg turned pale and my veins looked like a bolt of lightning from the reaction! I didn't think I hit a vein since it didn't bleed, but from that reaction I guess I was wrong!
By the way, I take Copaxone.
