oh Caprie you CAN do it! when you get ready to do your next injection keep telling yourself, "You know how to do this more than you think you do."
Just really GRAB enough flesh. Take it slow. Be comfortable with the way you hold the site. Don't forget to BREATH!
@ a 45 degree angle insert the needle...then pause! take a mini break and just let it be there a few seconds....regroup yourself. anchor the syringe with the hand you are not using to push the plunger in for stability...and slowly press down the plunger. count to 15. by the time 10 or 15 comes, all the Humira should be in.
then PAUSE.
and whoop that bad boy out quick and smooth!
YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT!
it's just nerves.
an even better thing to practice on is a raw piece of thick chicken breast! wear gloves of course and a practice needle. the meat & flesh feels more like how it does when we inject ourselves.
i have faith in you! erin
