[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 159176, member: 7788"] Hi Tom, I understand your concerns,but when you see the tiny needles used these days I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised. I use syringes and vials, and my syringe needles are significantly shorter and finer than when I was diagnosed in '89. The needle doesn't need to go deep, just under the skin. As for phobias, I've always felt, and been made to feel like such a softy over my fear of swallowing tablets-same as you, result of a childhood experience. I've had anti-biotics in liquid form or broken capsules open, taste disgusting though :( Capsules terrify me, give me a needle (even a big one!)anyday! I'm improving, been able to take small-ish softgel capsules recently and feel quite proud of myself :D Injections are usually painless as previous poster states. The only time it ever bothers me is during my period when my skin seems to be extra sensitive-you wont have that problem :lol: Let us know how you get on Jus :) [/QUOTE]
