Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I agree with Debra, it will be expensive to have the shotsadministered. However, it's easy for 'you' to give your own shots. Just 'pinch an inch' and stick the needle in and push the plunger down. Use an insulin syringe, it has a 1/2 inch long needle that's almost painless and does the job. I buy them by the box and use one per week for the last 10 years or more. The liquid is cheaper than tablets and just as easy by the time it's done. So, do it yourself or have someone give it to you at home. Good luck with it, Dennis in eastexas On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 6:12 PM, Debra <i_ownaberner@...> wrote: > > > Jolene, > If you still have no health insurance the injections are more expensive. > Deb RN > Debra > > ________________________________ > From: <diana92350@... <diana92350%40>> > > < %40> > Sent: Tue, February 16, 2010 5:48:44 PM > > Subject: Re: [ ] methotrexate shots > > > When I was on Metho several years ago I used insulin needles as they are > smaller. > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
