and delivered one more perk. Sort of.
Maybe it was my imagination, but my shot hurt less today. Could it be a brand-new layer of baby fat to shoot?
In my forties, I injected my abdomen, because there, well, my fat was my friend.
But with the fifties, that abdominal fat disappeared, to be replaced by a lovely layer of lard around the waist. Strangely enough, it hurts a lot to shoot there. And stays sore a lot longer. The love handles, previously non-existent, are soft, fluffy and have become premiere injection sites.
This weekend more than ever. Naturally, I have stepped up my walking routine. Dog or no dog.
There's got to be at least 10 pounds semi-circling my waist. Good thing I return to work tonight.

Since I've gained some weight I notice a lot less pain with my shots too. Mine is especially noticible int the 'butt' area!
ARGH! I've lost weight since starting Betaseron, I guess that is why I'm hurting MORE! But eating more won't help. I'm adversed to food!
All I want is pears and uhhh, maybe a very tiny square (like the free sample size?) of Rocky Mountain Chocolate. That's all. Pffft.
Do you guys use the AutoInjector? I might try that at a lower depth to see if it helps.
ARGH!
Autoinjector scares me. I inject slowly and deliberately. But lots of scarring makes new fat look like a better bet. Daily injections use me up. I don't inject on legs or butt, right now. Maybe later, but not now. The summer makes me want to stay bruise-free for bathing suits, although this year that wasn't tested. Glacial lakes will do that to me.
You said, "But lots of scarring makes new fat look like a better bet." and it took my slow brain a minute (or was it five) to get it. But when I did, I cracked up and almost (ALMOST) peed in my pants!
I was told the other day on a MS forum to inject like it's a dartboard. I did that today and you know what? I did not feel it at all!!! Try that one brave day. Get right up to your skin and go in quickly just like you're throwing a dart. :-) NO PAIN!
Re: AutoInjector, I have one distinct advantage over you- I can take my hearing aid and cochlear implant off and don't hear the loud explosion of the WMD entering our skins. That helps- a lot! But I don't like them either.

Did you notice me waving as I drove through Owego this past weekend?
Hmm... Seems I saw somebody swerve on the highway.
Love Owego. So cute! Also they are known for a yearly topless demonstration in the town's central park.
The guys all say they are going to watch, but the locals lose more and more interest each year.
