Peg jab

[gilded]

Thanks to everyone who offered tips on self-jabbing. It was a breeze although the only slight problem encountered was wrenching the caps off the needle and the interferon containers. They were screwed on very tightly.

Did you ‘twist’ and pull?

[gilded in reply to FG251]

No. Twist and shout! Will do as you suggest next time

We’ve all been there, I’m sure!

Glad all went well. I wiggle them both😂

Getting the cap off is the trickiest part. I grasp the needle unit just below the cap then twist and pull the cap off. The injection is really easy.

All the best and happy jabbing.

Actually good point. I never mentioned that in previous posts

I have the same trouble. I use a rubber gripper to hold the needle when I pull and twist it. I am not strong enough to do it without the gripper.

I don't have the strength to twist and pull. Or even shout for that matter. Am really weak and feeble. I once broke the whole thing and wasted everything.Then I realised it is held on by a sticky label. So I just work away at peeling the label off and it comes away very easily.
