It's okay to be a bit scared...it happens to us all, just different
circumstances...I guess I don't understand about your doc not giving
injections, because it even says from the manufacturer that only a
doctor can give it, not a nurse...I think mine told me that he had one
patient who got the shot in her buttocks, cuz she didn't want it in her
tummy...you can ask yours about it...and if your doc says you don't get
to have an anesthetic, well, that is just plain silly, cuz, yes, an
injection may hurt, but with the anesthetic, trust me, it doesn't hurt a
bit, not when compared to all the endo pain I had.
Anyhow, talk to your doc about how you feel...I don't blame you cuz of
the insulin shots you have seen...but it is only once a month, not every
day, and you have to weight all things in total.
Talk to you later,
