So nurse visited Tuesday can’t have been in the house 10 mins was useless couldn’t wait to get out rushed my injection it stung as wasn’t out of the fridge long enough never asked if I had my flu jab I haven’t yet soo confused now

What are you confused about Deejojo? I’m glad you’ve got your first injection out of the way, 🤞🏻 it starts to work quickly. Some injections do sting however long you leave them out of the fridge, I leave mine out all day but it still stings. You need to speak to your surgery about the flu jab, this nurse doesn’t have anything to do with that.

So sorry to hear this Deejojo, rushing achieves nothing and has now left you confused and no doubt frustrated. Take care x

Can you give the injection yourself? Then you won't have to put up with a nurse who is too overworked.

And find out separately about when to have the flu jab...!

As another has said, if you're able to self-inject you won't have to deal with her again!

I've been taking this med for 2 years now - i give it about 45mins outta the fridge and make sure my leg is fully relaxed/I'm not cold as the muscles will tense.

I'm in Scotland, UK so flu jab is totally separate from bio meds deliveries - I just make sure my monthly jab is a good week before/after the flu jab 👍🏻

Hi Michelle,

That is so good, a monthly jab! A change from the weekly sting!
