I have changed from( imaraldi ) to yuflyma, messed first injection up ( didn't all go in properly) because it was so light when I pushed the injection down.
Second injection went in perfect, this mornings injection running down my leg and I don't think any went in.
Cut a long story short I had to really press hard on the imaraldi.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or is it just me? So got to wait 2 weeks when I no it didn't go in. And it takes 2 days for rheumy nurses to get back to me. Kind regards xx

I’ve been on yuflyma for about 14 weeks and only messed up slightly on one where I didn’t push down hard enough and some liquid on leg when I removed the injector, since then I leant to push down and hold it while it injects
It's important to stretch the skin with the other hand so that you have a nice flat bit to push against. Then the injection is more likely to go in! Don't worry too much, practice makes perfect.
When I was on Imraldi it said to stretch the skin but changed to Yuflyma and it tells you not to. It's harder not too if like me you have a bit of cushioning round the tummy.
It seems logical that the round end of the injector fits flat against the skin. If like me you have wrinkles and bulges I have to flatten the area by slightly stretching the skin between thumb and index finger. If you are thin you wouldn't need to and stretching might thin it too much. So advice might vary.....
