Good luck. I personally can't go down the injection route because of fear, but I've heard it works well for others. I was actually discussing injections in therapy today. My therapist uses this method herself and seems to prefer it. Also, I've heard similar things from others who inject. Most seem happy with it. I hope it works well for you. :)

I think your doctor is right. What am I saying of course your doctor is right . But the shots are not alot of fun. They do work very well though

They aren't fun, but like Tristan said, they work well.
