Betaseron users... - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

My BETA nurse just came by to watch me inject (I do it manually) and make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong that would lead to the injection site reactions I am having. She informed me that in January Betaseron is coming out with a new auto-injector. It is going to be quiter and the spring will be slower. Also the set up will be alittle different, their won't be that part on top where the needle comes out that you have to measure and set. I know I will be looking forward to this, as I couldn't seem to push that button any longer with the anxiety of the loud noise and forceful entry of the needle. So... just wanted to let you all know! Take care!

thnx for the info,, my betanurse called me the other day to check up on things and she never mentioned it,,, maye i will call them next month and ask,,,,, what gets me is the dang autoject is too big,,, i can not do my arms and rearend by myself cause i can not reach the trigger and hold on to it at the same time,, i wish it was shorter,, like the copaxone one.

That's true too Natatude... I actually never even used my arms when I did the autoinject, because it was impossible to do. I just used my stomach and legs. Maybe that too will be altered, but she didn't mention it... so who knows!
