What was your experience on Kevzara?

@jsue
Are you using the pen or prefilled syringes? The reason I'm asking is because most people don't mention or consider their shots being painful and I'll be starting kevzara soon. Some do mention pain of course, and some mention reactions to the shot either from their choice of shot location or intolerance.

@kjoed53 I use prefilled syringes and give myself the shot in my thigh. I have read others numb the shot site with an ice cube ahead of time. I take the syringe out of the refrigerator 1 hour before I give myself the shot so the medicine is room temp. It hurts when the needle goes in and puts the med in my leg. But honestly, if I count to 3 seconds it is over. Not terrible at all. Then that is the end of it. No big deal.

@kjoed53 i too have nit read much here abt pain.
I have no pain with shots. I do the stomach around belly button. I’m sitting with stomach protruding, pinch skin and inject. My Dr warned me not to tense up…..good luck.
