Hi , I  injected myself with Methotrexate for two years with no problems at all. Tiny needle just under the skin you can do it yourself .the nurse will teach you how to do it. All the best with that Elfie

Hi

I've been using the injections for a few years now with no problems. It comes in an epi-pen really simple to use. Take mine just before I go to bed as site can be a little sore, so just sleep it off.
