injection one done.. Must admit, I had a tiny bit left in the syringe:( But it hurt exactly the same as the GP nurse doing it. A scratch.. I'm determined to try this and get better and for that split second that you stick it in / the scratch it's worth it!! Only thing I haven't got is a sharpes box but I'll get one... Thanks everyone.. I only bought ten ampoules so today I'll get on and buy more... Anyone reading this that helped THANK YOU X... Anyone who is reading this that on the cliff edge wondering can you bring yourself to inject PLEASE make sure you have all the knowledge, watch the videos, ask as many questions as you need, and try it... Happy Sunday 😊 x

For the sharps box try asking your pharmacist.

I get mine from the local council. They drop off an empty one and pick up the full one. Worth checking out.

Thanks if you buy them how do you then get rid of them? Can you take them to chemist? Thanks you have helped so much 😊

No idea. As I say, the council pick mine up. The chemist will know the local arrangements.

Well done!

It is SO worth doing. After only 3 jabs the tingling in my hands has gone... looking forward to everything else getting better too!

Hope your symptoms start decreasing soon.
