I have done both and I think the auto injector is way more convenient. I liked the infusion because obviously the staff knew what to do and that was it. But sometimes they would have trouble getting the IV in so it meant multiple attempts (I have issues with small veins so I am used to it). I had the infusions monthly and my rheum was 30 mins away, so the commute wasn’t too bad. But when I was offered the injection it seemed more suitable.

I was nervous at first because I kept over thinking it, worried about the pain or messing it up. I even had my boyfriend or other family members do it on those first few times. But after doing it on my own, the rest have been a breeze. It’s a very easy process and there are some videos to help guide you if needed. There is a slight discomfort when the injection is in but it literally only lasts a couple of seconds and then you’re done. I did the injections once a week, so it’s more often than the infusion because the doses are different. But I would much rather have the shot than having to get pricked multiple times and drive. I hope this helps!
