Good luck with it Duncan.
As for pinching the skin, I have always pinched the skin as that is what I was told with all the different bios I have tried. Not sure if you do with the pen type shots though as as I only ever tried one once and found syringes better.
I inject in the stomach about three inches away from the belly button by pinching an inch of skin. I have also injected in the upper leg by pinching the skin, but have found sometimes you can hit a tiny vein. You can also inject in your upper arm or you bum cheek if you prefer.
*For others reading Amgevita is a biosimilar of Humira Humira (adalimumab)
