Subject: Injector Pen V's Syringe

Im currently using the Humira injector pen and wondered if people knew of any other pens which are less painful or whether they prefer a syringe to an auto injector. Please give comments on wht you use and your comments regarding the products

Hi Collette,I was on the Enbrell syringe for about 8 months, and when that stopped working, the Humira injector pen for 4 months, which didn't work at all. Out of the two I found the syringe a lot easier and less painful than the pen.

Hi Collette,

I'm using Humira Syringes it stings for a few seconds, you just have to make sure you inject slowly, I don't know how I would be with an injector pen.

When the health care at home nurse came to see me she said that a lot of her patients went onto syringes after trying the pens.

I was one of those people that said Ooo I could never inject myself, however when you have too you do just get on with it. All you can do is try it.

Take Care.
