I've never been a fan of pen type injections, but understand your reason for using them.
Good luck Kat, hopefully the "Slicer" will pay off in the end.
Okay maybe I exaggerated just a little....
(BUT.. only a little!! That needle is evil! )
Honestly the injection isn't that bad, just compared to the other two I've had it's not great. Glad I didn't have that after injection thing this time and so far no reaction.
@Caroline - I think the other injections (Stelara and Cosentyx) spoiled me a bit as there was MAYBE a small little pinch feel but no medicine stinging or anything at all afterwards. The last injection (Taltz) the pain went on for a week but that was due to having a reaction. Also I was only on Cosentyx for a short bit and felt relief in the joints.
OH I should add, I did make sure NOT to press down against the skin this time! I do think that helped a bit as I was putting perhaps too much pressure before.
