I use a 25g x 1" for intramuscular test injections, so pain isn't really an issue (or at least it shouldn't be)... I get absolutely NO anxiety until I take the shield off and the needle is right above my leg... This is where I seem to get paralyzed... After anywhere from 30 min to a whole damned day, I somehow get it done and laugh at myself because it's really nothing and I've no idea what I'm terrified of...
The thing is, your body doesn't want foreign objects in it, you gotta tell yourself: i am taking care of myself, i know what i am doing and it is something good The needle going ik to my body is natural I get rewarded by benefits after the injection Etc etc
I had no fear of needles ever and still don't but self injection is still very hard for me. It's hard for me to pinpoint the reason since the sound doesn't bother me either and once I let a 4 year old assist in pushing it in for me so if I trusted her I surely trust myself. Also I have to do this everyday. Also my doctor never said but do I have to pinch the skin if I'm already pretty heavy set it just seems stupid since I have a lot of fat like it's 50% of my body weight Edit: the medicine is for weight loss and I'm at 203 now
I never particularly liked needles in any sense but got through them when at the doctor or hospital... Having to inject myself is a whole different ball game and I, too, don't really know what I'm afraid of...
Such a great video. Im a crohnie too and I will be taking cimzia soon and I was wondering if you’ve had any side effects, since you said you’re been on it for years? Thanks
Thank you so much!!!!! I just did my HRT by myself for the first time in months. Tears of joy rn

I really appreciate this, having my own issues this morning starting self injections. I hope you're doing as well as you can :)

You are so brave. I must be able to do my injections on my own. I need to be brave!
