Pen! yes.. The PEN.... I don't do needles..... If I had to see the needle, I be

up the creek without a paddle!

Guys... I am a WUSS! I am now going to be a stomach injector!

By the way, were you using the PEN to inject into the stomach? What

were you injecting (I have to inject Humira). Had you injected either

the PEN or syringe into the thigh? Are you saying the stomach is less

painful than the thigh? Do you prefer the PEN to the syringe?

Hey guys!

I have always used a needle w/Enbrel & Humira and for me, the skin on my tummy

has a lot less feeling than my thighs. I hate needles too, but for several

years, I had to give my cat insulin shots so I was able to reasonably handle

giving myself the shots. The first time or two was nerve racking, but I got used

to it.

If you clean the skin area with a alcohol wipe first, make sure the alcohol

wiped area is dry. It is that which makes the sting. I injected into my thighs

when on Enbrel, I liked it much better than the stomach. Jean

I inject Humira, via the Pen, into my stomach. I have muscular thighs and would

always hit the muscle and bruise. I do get a small bruise occasionally on my

stomach, but there's not much I can do about that. I have a flat stomach so

there's not much extra there for insulation. I've never used the syringe on

myself before, but I do give my dog allergy injections and find it is easier for

me to inject with the pen because maneuvering the syringe can be tricky with

stiff, sore fingers. She gets 1.0cc as her dose and I'm using a 1.0cc needle

for her, so the plunger part has to be depressed the full length of the needle,

which is hard with my hands. Dosing with the syringe is no problem, so that's a

non-issue in my book.
