Hi there! I was constantly sick on the pills too and find the injections fab. Only side effect I regularly get is extreme tiredness for about 24hrs. I find doing them fine. I often hesitate a bit before I do it though. Needles are pre loaded and syringes and needles are everso thin. Fluid isn't much either. I do them in my thighs alternately. Be sure to let the alcohol wipe dry properly otherwise it will really sting but doesn't at all If dry. Believe me, I've found out the hard way, was never told. Go in quite fast with slight force to avoid pain on entry too. I had an IV nurse come out and talk me through my first time and then I've gone from there. Totally ok! Good luck with it hun and try not to worry too much but I know that's easier said then done. Go well! XXX
