I hope you can overcome the nervousness of injecting yourself. I remember how nervous I would get when I first started. It was very difficult,I would nearly passout at the thought of it. After a couple of months,I felt improvement in my symptoms from the Humira,so I got less nervous and started to welcome the injections because they helped me so much. Personally,I found that the actual syringe was easier than the pens. I make a game out of it,first cleaning the site to be injected thoroughly,then I pinch up the skin and subcutaneous layer. I know the medicine is going to help me feel better and that helps. If you know how to meditate,that really helps. I form the word RELAX in my mind and then spell it out one letter at a time,giving a color to each one....R is red ,E is yellow,L is blue,A is brown,X is green...that sort of thing....and repeat this over and over untill I'm calm......try it.. hope it helps.
