The Challenges With Injections

Grace Vasher: Learning How to Inject at College

“I was alone at college and had to teach myself how to insert a shot by myself. I was terrified. I remember walking into my dorm room and instantly starting to cry out of fear of this needle and having to administer it myself. I was genuinely so scared. I thought, is it going to hurt more? What if I do it wrong? Where do I put the needle when I’m done? What do I do if I mess up? So many questions ran through my brain. Even after injecting a few times, it did not get easier.”

One Woman's Expereince With Psoriasis Injections

What It’s Really Like To Live With Ulcerative Colitis

"...giving myself self-injections was impossible. I had to be given a sedative to help calm me down, and I had to have my boyfriend, who is also a nurse, administer the medication to me with my mom holding my arms down. It was a tense and stressful process, to say the least. Ultimately, I refused to take the medication, and got a temporary loop ileostomy. I was on the path to a total colectomy, which is the removal of your large intestine and having a permanent ostomy."

A Difficult Needle to Thread

"I would love to sit here and tell you about how brave I am when taking my shot, how it only takes me 5 or so minutes to do, just a quick in and out, but that is a bold-faced lie. I spend that amount of time alone just staring at the needle while cowering in my boxers."
