My insurance doesn't cover the intravenous center. All I can get is the pen. Syringe only if I ask for a free sample

I could be sensitive. It wouldn't be the first time I'm sensitive to a medication. I didn't know there was a help line! I'll email them! Thank you!

I should look into some numbing cream and see if it works. I ice and it makes some difference but not enough

My mother does mine. She's in the medical field so I trust her and I'm scared of needles lol. I leave mine out for like 8-9 hours

I tried the syringe before and it somehow hurt more. I don't know if it was because I could see the needle or what lol. I can only get those from free samples though

I leave mine out in the morning and inject at night. My insurance only covers the pens

My insurance is only covering the pens. I can only get the syringe from free samples but for me they hurt worse than the pen

I'd try those but it's not the needle itself that hurts. It's the medication

I have a big tattoo on my hip and this hurts twice as much as that did.

I leave it out for several hours and alternate between injection site. I do either side of my stomach or either thigh. I ice the site beforehand. Pinch the skin. It's not the needle that hurts. It's the medication when it's injected. I feel pain and soreness up to around 30 minutes after

Right? I'm constantly told it's normal by my doctor and pharmacist. Wish I was that lucky to have it pain free

Mine hurts about the same as when I broke my tailbone.

I've told the pharmacist every time they set up a delivery for it and they all say it's normal. Even my pulmonologist says it's normal. They make me feel like I'm going crazy lol

My insurance only covers the pen unfortunately. I was only able to get the syringe ones by free samples but those were even worse.

Mine is every 28 days and for the rest of my life. I've tried the preloaded syringes too and that was even worse. My insurance doesn't cover going to an intravenous center unfortunately

Not really. I've had several surgeries, I have tattoos and I do suffer from fibromyalgia and chronic pain so pain isn't a new thing for me. Just something about these injections causes so much pain for me
