My first injection

It's just a little after 7:15pm and I finished my first injection. Before I did it, I read the instructions about 10 times so I wouldn't mess up. The syringe is pretty neat. It looks like a pen and holds about 6 injections. You just change the needle tip for every new injection. The actual needle is pretty short and thin... almost like a thumb tack.

When I was finally ready to give myself the shot, I was a little nervous. I just kept imagining the pain of it. I finally got enough courage to stick myself and bam! I can't believe that the shot did not hurt at all! The needle just slid in like it was going through jello. Injecting the stuff was pretty easy. I hope I did it right. After looking at the syringe, it didn't look like I used any of the medicine. Wow, my led is kinda itchy now. I wonder when I'm going to start feeling some of the side effects? I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Oh yeah, I'll be using a rating system while I'm going through this treatment. I'll use two categories - mental and physical on a scale of 1 to 5. I'll try to give a rating every day if possible.

Hmmm.... should I go to sleep early or stay up a little longer?
