How to inject procrit ?

[GINGERPAL]

Someone once posted a helpful video site on how to inject pegasys and I was wondering it there is any information on how to inject procrit.
My last two hgb blood test results were 9.7 and 9.4 , so my doctor is going to order procrit for me.
I am going to get procrit  40,000 units per ml per week.  
Is that the dose that everyone else is doing?
Do you have to mix the solution or measure it out to inject ?  
My mind is a bit foggy these days....just wondering if it is more complicated to do the procrit?
thanks.   ginger

Thanks all.  I can never get enough answers....You guys are funny....but i am feeling  soooo tired that it is not easy to laugh now but after the procrit, i hope to have the energy to laugh again.    Does the procrit needle have markings with dosage levels (like the pegasys which i push the plunger to the 180 mcg mark).   Will the procrit have a mark for 40,0000 units?  I am a thin person......hope i can find places to inject.
And does it matter when I inject the procrit?  Thanks.   Ginger

you know what say Dr. B slow and steady wins the race ;)

Yes nygirl is right, and 40,000 is the normal dose. Although i seemed to like it better slow and easy.:) Took the sting out.

"just aim and stick it in and jam that plunger down with your eyes closed (at least that is how I did it ;)"

LOL, thats why i love NYgirls.......:)

[nygirl7]

Just like you currently are taking the interferon just aim and stick it in and jam that plunger down with your eyes closed (at least that is how I did it ;)

And no it comes in vials you dont have to mix anything at all.
