  • Good God, woman! That shot was too long and so was the injection; I just do my Avonex injections like a dart into a dartboard (my thigh is the bullseye). After two years, I'm still having flu-like symptoms but no big deal. Luv your work

  • @wysiwyg43 I know. It was way too slow. lol I am glad you like the videos though. I am now on tysabri, which at least I don't have to be the one driving the needle! :)

  • @wysiwyg43 Eres una mujer admirable y preciosa!! y que hermosas piernas!! con todo respeto!! Te deseo lo mejor del mundo vas a estar superbien!!  Jorge! palsilver@yahoo.com.mx

  • @simbaymax gracias!

  • Thank-you for this video. My fiance has had MS for almost 18 years with occassional & minor flare ups... until 1 year ago. Long story short, he now takes Avonex. Started w/the pen injector- he told me how much it hurt and opted to take the injections manually. This week, he must have hit a nerve in his right quadricep, took it out & moved the needle 1" down the thigh. His thigh twiched again when the 1" needle was only half way in. Now he's a bit scared of the pain & muscle twiching. Any ideas?

  • I have had this twiching too. It scared the crap out of me and I flung the needle out of my leg. I think if muscle spasm is part of your MS, then it can be worse.

    My only idea is to ice the leg a little before and try to relax as much as possible. Tell him not to be in the same position as when he twiched the last time. Like maybe sit with the leg slightly out, anything to help relax it a little.

    Sorry I don't have more advice. I completely understand how he feels in this case.
