I have had to use those self injectors before, for something else, although it was on a weekly basis, not a daily basis. I wouldn't say I feared it or that it was very painful but my stomach became a mass of bruises even after just 10 weeks of weekly shots I have also had them done in a clinic and rehab setting for other reasons. My stomach was much less bruised when done that way.
My doctor said in home self injection treatments are not approved by Medicare as quickly and easily as ones done in the clinic. It only took a couple days for them to approve the Evenity. We have delayed starting it because I am going in on Tuesday for surgery to insert a rod in my right femur before it breaks like the left one did.
I agree that not having to go anywhere can be great. The clinic where I will be getting it done is 30 miles away. I try to look at it as a reason to get out of the house. If it weren't for Covid we would go out to eat after the shots.
Thank you for the concern.
