I hate needles, but I need to inject daily.
I use a device called SurePal which helpfully hides the needle, but have to change needles for each injection.
The device is like a thick pen and holds the drug cartridge. Each cartridge has 5 doses (for me) and the whole has to be stored in the fridge.
A very helpful nurse (thanks Lucy!) came to instruct me. Once I'd practiced on a lump of sponge I was allowed to inject myself. I barely felt it and there was almost no bleeding despite the blood thinners I take.
No noticeable side-effects. So far, so good.
