Well todays the day, the countdown has begun.
Im dreading this appointment but I have to look at it as being the first day of the rest of my life. Im just hoping as I drive to hospital a miracle cure in the form of a tablet has been invented, and no javelin sized needles are needed.
And in the end it wasn't too bad.
I sometimes refer to it as shooting up. Humour helpsIve had spinal injections myself
But they were done by someone else. Its the thought of doing it myself. Ive been joking on saying I've got to self harm before meals, just to try and take my mind off my issue.
But it now feels sore.
Perhaps we need a thread where people can upload their post-injection bruising photos, with a Bruise of the Month Award.Cheers for the replies. I have a small bruise around the injection site. Maybe I've been too aggressive putting the needle in.
You will end up with people hitting themselves to get a bigger bruise. Two mins while i punch myself in the stomach. I'll send in the pic later when the bruise comes out.Perhaps we need a thread where people can upload their post-injection bruising photos, with a Bruise of the Month Award.
I'll show you mine, if you show me yours
Happens to the best of us.

Just got a letter from hospital regarding my recent appointment. Im going back on monday and one of the things they are doing is updating a baseline coeliac screen.
Anyone any ideas what that means?
