Giving yourself a shot adds anxiety to the mix, doesn't it? Mine was intra-muscular, not sub-cutaneous, and needed to go into my rear end, so mu husband had to do it for me. He is NOT comfortable with these things! The online pharmacy we used provided a link to a video to watch to familiarize ourselves with it. Then it was an act of faith in each other, and it went just fine.
