[QUOTE="therower, post: 2146307, member: 47983"] [USER=514907]@Tinkleberry[/USER] . Welcome to the forum. I was diagnosed along while ago and I can still remember exactly going through what you are currently experiencing. Old style syringes, but took to it like a duck to water for the first few weeks. Then BANG I couldn’t or really struggled to do the injection. I’d have to put the syringe down, walk away and then return and try again. Sometimes would get to within a few mm’s of skin and then just stop. It was like an invisible barrier. I think the reality of what I was actually doing hit home, along with the novelty of injecting myself wearing off. I guess the whole episode lasted a few months, some days no problems, some days a nightmare. One thing I found was that the longer I thought about having to inject the more difficult it was. You can inject, you need to inject. Get this in your head and only recall it at the last moment. You’ll overcome this and you’ll be fine. A few weeks/ months and you’ll be showing people how you do it. [/QUOTE]
