Hi Znewell

Until Nov last year I was taking mtx injections but had to stop as it didnt agree with me.

I had been taking them for over 18 months and when I first started them they were the little pre filled needles but then for the,last 8-10 months that I had them they had moved over to using the pens,

When I started this I was worried about injecting myself as I am a real woos with needles,but there was no need to worry at all.

The new pen type injections are even easier and less painful as well.

Hope all goes well for you and that you get on with mtx.

Take care.

Hi the ones I take are metrojet pens and are really easy you just hold it to your stomach or thigh and press the button and that's it you don't feel anything xxx
