I did my first MTX jab myself today at the hospital I only have to go there one more time next week then I can do them at home. I did it in my tummy this week and next week have to show them I can do it in my leg.I am so pleased with myself as as I have said before,I cannot usually even watch injections on the TV even when they're not real. :shock:
I will be able to watch them on TV now too without turning away.LOL x

Hey, well done, Rita! You sound so pleased with yourself and so you should too. You've put a smile on my face. You're doing brilliantly.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

It's not great that you have to do them but at least it saves trips to and from the surgery.

That is a major step forwards - well done you, you brave girl. I prefer to do them in my tummy as there are fewer nerve endings but I also use the upper thigh. When it's that area's turn I take everything I need to the bedroom and sit on the bed with my legs up - this relaxes the thigh muscles and makes the process easier.
Good luck - you have done the hardest part and I wish you well. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -
Well done you!
That's the worst over with.
Good luck with the next one.

Doing the first one yourself is a major step.
I speak from experience having started Meth jags in January.
It will get better the more you do it, but I still don't like it.0 -
