Thanks EngineeringGirl. I've always been curious about icing the site of injection. My rheumatologist is strongly against it for some reason but many people recommend it.
Had my third injection today and it literally took me 2 hours sitting down with my eyes closed, holding the pen to my stomach and listening to my music. I don't know why I get so psyched out about the process but I had to skip a class at school because I just couldn't bring myself to pushing the button. Once I did eventually manage to press it, I almost pulled it out straight away in reaction. Luckily I managed to control my reactions...
Another interesting thing happened today. I got the first pen all ready to go and I stupidly and clumsily hit the button by mistake and lost all of the fluid in that pen. A very expensive mistake and I am so embarrassed about that. Is it something that you contact the pharmacist about? I imagine that they wouldn't refund that dose.
