Hi All,
I made a website to help me keep track of my injections in the hope that they'd hurt less due to not injecting in hidden bruised areas (and it does!). I've like to share it with fellow MSers (and others if it's useful to them!).
I made it because there wasn't an app that I could use to take photos of my injection areas and track injection sites, (and add 'landmarks' like blemishes!) and have been using it since August last year and am very pleased with it!
Have a look, I'd love some feedback if you have the time? Injection Tracker for MSers
Thank you,
Jon
Hi all,
Well the first injection was done yesterday at 2:30pm in the hospital. I thought the pen had malfunctioned as i didnt feel a thing but it worked fine.
My legs started hurting a lot about 4 hours after the injection and by about 8pm were really painful with a few aches down the shoulders and arms but the chills started in about 9ish alternating with hot spells. I did however have a cold and a sore throat before the injection and the nurse said that this could make the symptoms a bit worse so until i inject when i am well i wont get a true reading of side effects. My head is a bit thick this morning but that i think is due to the cold i have. My legs are still a bit achy but if thats all the side effects i get i will be more than happy.
any advice really dont know where to turn right now, Hubby has worked for the same company for 17 years, his job has recently changed and there has been several months of conspiracy to get him out, Instead of looking at what adjustments they could make they have been on a mission to prove he cant do the new job with nothing short of lies.
The company appears to have followed correct procedure but have lied and fabricated questions to get the answers they require, one of them being can he walk 3 miles. of course he cant but a motorised vehicle had already been discussed with his immediate manager.
Its all about the work hours changing and they sold this to him, his consultant and the works doctor as being working 4x12 hour shifts together when the actual hours are mainly 2 on 2 off with the most days together being 3 days and only 2 instances of this in a month! a HUGE difference!
Everyhting that could incriminate them is missing from the case management package,( but we do have copies of the majority of them) he had the final stage meeting last week and was given 12 weeks notice, dont actually know what reason it is because he has asked the union rep about going for unfair dismissial and according to him he hasnt been dismissed. According to the case management package he should have been told how to appeal at the meeting and he wasnt, and still dont know ( time is ticking away fro he 14 day deadline)
He has said all along that he doesnt want to take early retirement but will be forced into something we cant live on the pension let alone nothing! and being capable of doing a job with the employer that is bound to make adjustments and keep you is very different to getting another job!
Hes now been told to apply for IHR although it looks like this should have been done before the final stage meeting came about, I cant see how he can be trying to prove he should have IHR and prove he can work 12 hour shifts at the same time?
He was asked to sign a disclaimer at the meeting and offered his notice pay to be paid tax free, he refused they apparantly were quite shocked. From what I can see they wernt actually giving him anything as aits just a different way of paying notice pay.
I really think he has more than enough to take this for discrimination
I cant believe you can work for an employer and come out of it with nothing but the pension you have paid for and be forced to have no job because of a disability.
any help and advice, tired local disability place before he actually lost his job they gave him the phone number of a good laywer and havent been able to contact.
he has secondary progressive and in the last 5 months its made him worse than the last 5 years have MS nurse does say its stress, making him worse.
Hi,
I injected copaxone yesterday into my left arm. I didn't inject deep. In correct spot I'm pretty sure, you can't go wrong really. My left arm feels dead and I can hardly us it. Have anyone else had this with copaxone or other injections? Also, my thighs aren't great either, with bruising and huge welts. So I am now going to have to use my buttocks and tummy.....3 spots, that's it.
Hope someone knows!

Hi all. Thought I would bring you all up to date with me.
Had my rebif training today and did the 1st injection which I might add BLOODY HURT!!
had the injection about 11am once I did it the nurse couldnt get out of my house quick enough lol.
Felt very woozy about 5 minutes later but luckily enough cleaner turned up and took my mind off it. Wen she left I felt instantly shattered plus injection site still hurting. Still feel woozy and tired after an afternoon nap.
Well next next injection on friday.
