need to man up

[vetran]

yep there is that moment just before you stab yourself with the needle when you are thinking WTF am I doing?

it soon passes.

So MTFU you are embarrassing suity!

[cojak]

Have to give myself an injection. I hate needles.

Need to get used to it cos it's going to be a daily occurance.

**** no. I'm not letting her near me with a needle.

It'll probably be no worse than shaving when it comes to it. I just hate needles and especially the idea of sticking one in myself for some reason, although it probably hurts less than when the nurse does it.

I will force myself to do it soon. Some time after lunch.

I had to do it for a few weeks after I had Jnr - the first week wasn't so bad - my mam was over (she is a nurse) so she did it then.

When she went back I had to figure out a way of doing them without looking - so I used to do them in my thigh - basically just ram it in without looking.

I really have sympathy for you - it's a really stingy tulipty pain

the basically just ram it in without looking.

Not sure if that's better or worse TBH. What if you miss?

Thankfully I never did!

Is it just me but reading Dallas & CM's last posts in isolation I had a FNARRR FNARRR moment?

I've had to do this several times over the years - last time was last summer after my spell in hosp. The needles were bloody long!
I can never do the ram it in approach, i always push it into my flabby thigh slowly and for some odd reason i always used to do it at the bottom of the stairs, with one foot up on the third stair!
Also as the drugs had to be kept in the fridge, it was not a pleasant sensation as the cold liquid flowed in to me.
Injecting insulin is loads easier as the needles are really short and really fine.

Anyhoo, what I am trying to say is – you have my sympathies

No, not just you. There are some shockingly smutty minds on this forum

[Dallas]

Blokes minds....

Eww sympathies, I had to self-inject for 10 months, initially I tried the:

basically just ram it in without looking

But 1st time I missed & stabbed my hand

Need to get used to it cos it's going to be a daily occurrence.

You do get used to it – I found inner thigh was the least painful place for me
