A message from The Norton Neuroscience Institute Resource Center:
Do you know that those patients receiving injectable therapies are eligible for FREE visits from MS-certified nurses?
These visits are available at no cost to you and you can receive as many sessions as necessary.
We often get into bad habits and start to get sloppy when we constantly repeat daily tasks. It is a good idea to re-visit injection training techniques. It is very important to use proper technique in order to maintain the health of our skin. Sometimes, just a small adjustment in site location or angle may help. It can help you experience less pain with fewer site reactions, and improved adherence, which ultimately leads to improvement in the management of your disease. In some cases, the companies have newer options when administering injections, which may also help.
You may call your physician if you would like to have a retraining session, or call the company directly to make an appointment:
