I switched from the morning....
Re: the pinching-- the Tymlos nurse said NOT to do that! I forget the reason, but she said that's absolutely the wrong way to proceed. Go figure.

@lnl I am used to injections because my kid has type 1 diabetes. The nurse said not to pinch because you can squeeze the medicine out. But if you don't pinch, it hurts more. And we are injecting into fat.

So try pinching up- gently, it doesn't take much- just enough so you are injecting into fat. Then let go at the moment you inject. That way it doesn't hurt when you put the needle in but you also don't squeeze the medicine out.

A nurse can show you but you can probably figure it out. I cannot imagine not pinching!
