Re: Re: Best site for pain-free Xolair injections

I got my shot today.  I always get it in the lower fatty part (my friend calls

it her " waddle " !) of my upper arm.  I had an unusual experience--my regular

nurse was not there so one I have never seen gave it to me......this one was

painfully SLOW!  I appreciated the slow part, but I have never had it give that

slow before.  She took almost a minute to get the fluid in.  Maybe that is the

way all of the shots should be given.  One of the other nurses was in the room

just chatting with me and she commented that it took a lot of patience on her

part and sometimes by the time she had given several in a row, it was a little

harder to give it slowly.....Just interesting.  It didn't hurt, doesn't hurt,

and hopefully won't hurt!

Mine never hurts. They give it slowly in upper arm. Must have some fat there,

though.
