It was as if my hand had a mind of its own- no problem up to then. I ended up going to A&E where a brilliant nurse got me past it by sticking a (new) needle in her own arm and saying “if I can, you can”. (Don’t think it would be allowed these days!) I also changed the site - I’d been trying to use my stomach and I think that set it off... I have not had that problem since. (Needles are better these days too and pens less scarey than glass syringes - that helps.) I can still remember what it felt like and sympathise with what you’re going through. I thought I was the only one but you really are not alone! Others have given good advice which I won’t repeat, but keep going - it does get easier.</p></blockquote><p></p>
