Syringe vs Pen

[Colleen_S]

I have been on Humira for about year and half now and was wondering what people use to take their Humira!?

I have always taken the syringe, however a few weeks ago I was given a pen as the pharmacy did not have syringes left in stock...I think whoever uses the pen is brave, it hurt so much more!!

I used the pen for Humira and the syringe for Cimzia. If I ever did Humira again I'd definitely get the syringe.

I used the pen when I was on Humira, and it was so painful I really don't know how I managed it. When I was on Cimzia I used a syringe. I prefer the syringe to the pen any day, it is much better. Anytime I go on an "injectable" I will ask for a syringe; never again will I use a pen if I can help it.

I've used both and don't seem to notice a difference. Both are painful.

@ Colleen_S

When injecting with a syringe, is it the same as a normal injection(pain level)?
I use a pen but it hurts so much (((

I don't like needles and can't look but if the pain is less I would rather someone else inject me.
