I have been taking Copaxone since I was diagnosed with MS in 1997. I thought having to mix the vials of medication and the two different syringes and two different size needles was a pain. Now with the prefilled syringes I am experienceing a new problem not with the medication but with the needles. The needle bends when I inject with or without the autoinject and, the last injection I did the needle actually broke off. I wish we could go back to the twist on needles! or be given the choice!!!
