An injection in the thigh is a "thousand" times more painful than in your stomach!

Really? I know the Enbrel folks recommended I could try injecting in the abdomen, but somehow, the idea of that makes me queasy all over!

I do the whole rotating thing...thigh thigh stomach stomach and she is right...sometimes i cheat and give myself my injection in my stomach twice (or if I'm feeling particularly naughty...three times!) because you barely feel it! I started on regular needles, then went to those darn auto inject things...NO WAY!! I went back to the regular needle. Looks more intimidating but darn it feels way better! I loved your post and your sense of humor...good to see when you feel like the energy vampire has been visiting every night for years!
