Hey Cinder! Nice to see you posting and you should ask and get others opinions. That's how you learn! Taffy has some good advice! You should listen to her! We all listen to her, we may ignore what she says, but we do listen! LOL!

Those huge hummer IM shots are tough. I have trouble with my weekly B12 shot - it's an IM shot like the one you have to do. I have my neighbor do it - he's a doc. He has a beer first and then does my shot! Oops, I think I am supposed to have the beer first! Hmmm...I think someone has this procedure backwards! Oh yeah, I don't drink beer! Anyway, it's given in my arm and I can't reach so he does it.

It might not be a bad idea to have a back up person learn to give you your shots, but you know what? If you just can't do it, then by all means find someone who will, cuz like Taffers said - YOU GOTTA GET IT DONE!

Hi Cinder.. No question is too gory or scary for us.

When I was on Avonex, at first, my DIL (a Nurse) came over and gave me the shot. When she became ill, I bit the bullet and did it myself.

If you have someone who is willing to do it for you, then go for it.

TappyBrat, wha chu doin, hollering at Cinder..

Hi,
I prefer doing my own. If there comes a time when I can't I will need to remember that there just some shots that really hurt without any reason I have been able to figure out so it won't be DHs fault!
