hi all, yesterday i went to have my injection training, i asked if i could do the injection and the rhuemy nurse said yes. she had originally said she'd do the 1st one but that seemed abit silly to me!!!
so after being given all the instructions i did the injection and it was fine!
i half expected myself to chicken out but i didn't and i feel very proud! sad i know, but i felt i'd done something i've never done before and managed it no problems!

Hi Suzster, just wanted to say "well done", I did my first one myself too, I still need to have the tv on when I do mine, to take my mind off of it, it is worth it to me because I don't feel nausea any more love Jaspercatxxx
i must say it was not how i thought it would be, it didn't hurt and it just came quite naturally if that makes sense?
i was convinced when the nurse was going through it all i'd chicken out, when i actually had the syringe in my hand and the cover off the needle i had a split second thought, kind of this is it, but as soon as i had done it i felt so pleased with myself! it's a shame that my friends and family didn't seem to understand how i felt, they just wrinkled there noses and said "yuck i couldn't of done that" or words to that effect!!
so a big thank you to you all for understanding how pleased with myself i felt,
you deserve really big pat on the back (although you may prefer my hubby's idea of praise which usually involves chocolate!
I too have done my own injections although at the moment i am having them done by the GP practice nurse.It is not easy so well done - your family and friends just can't get past the idea of doing it themselves .... so they probaby haven't got past that to thinking about your bravery!
hope you soon get some help with your arthritis.

i'm also proud that i have learnt a new skill!
is it very different doing a injection on another person rather than yourself? i'm just curious, sorry if it's a silly question!
it would be nice, after all sarah had a sticker when she had her inoculations (sp?) hubby asked them to give her one, she was only a few months old but she liked the sticker!
Hi from new member
When i where a lad i would pierce my muscles nose ears legs arms and nose. but that was so many years ago. When i had to start injecting myself it was real scary and still is. I would much rather have someone else to do it. They say it saves all the running around either to the nurse or the hospital. However it takes me so long to work myself up to doing it i could have been there and back to the hospital. Very well done to you keep it up

i have to say a few years ago i'd of thought nothing of having body piercing done, which involves bigger needles! not now though!!!
i just hope i'm alright tomorrow going it alone!
