Freedom pharmacy has lots of videos and information about medications. If you have any doubts about mixing/dosage call your nurse to confirm.[/quote]

Good advice.  I watched the videos while I did my injections at first.  By the end I was wondering why I didn't go to nursing school.  I especially liked holding the needle up and flicking it for air bubbles. [/quote]

It's watching their videos that scared the bejeezus out of me. OP.[/quote]

I think the videos are helpful. first time round they make you feel nervous about it; getting it right and all.  I agree with 12:49 .. mix yourself, so you control that.   then hand the needle over to DH.  All he has to do is stick and plunge.  Mine, who was very nervous about using the needle and scared about hurting me, managed just fine.  he really can't mess up.  although i will say that some spots hurt a bit more than others when he didn't get it exactly right.   when he travelled, had to do it myself, which kind of sucked, but manageable.  there are services that will do it, your clinic probably has recommendations, but it is really expensive (i thought about it when husband was travelling but the cost quickly disabused me of that idea. Good luck![/quote]
