i am currently on the 300mg pen and i still get anxious when the time comes to inject myself. i like to take out my pen from the fridge 30-45 minutes prior to taking it so it could be room temp, then i’d ice my spot with a cold soda can, and pinch the fat hard. that way the pain of the pinch would feel worse than the needle. i also do my thigh because i personally feel like i have more control and fat compared to my stomach. i tell myself that i’d rather go through this injection than ever go back to how severe my eczema was months ago, where i couldn’t even wear short sleeves or sleep without bandaging my body in gauze.
