Pushing past injection phobia
by aprilj, May 08, 2007 12:00AM
Did my first injection. I am such a wimp! It took me an hour to get up the nerve , then I had to lie down because I was hot, sweaty and faint. My leg hurt! I thought I paralized myself! I forgot to pull back on the syrynge to see if there was blood. Is that necesary? Does this get easier? I don't think I can do this every day! At one point the needle raised out a bit and I didn't push it back in as I was injecting. It still felt like it was in the muscle...hope that was ok. Am I paranoid or what?!

It gets better. Once you get past your fear and realize it's no big deal you will be able to relax about it. The scale moving is a huge motivator too. Hang in there.

It makes me feel better that there is a hospital only 3 miles away from me.. hahahaha .. but if everyone is saying it gets easier and better then it must ey? im sure I will be freeking out though when i first inject...
