Hi all! I’m back on dupixent after going off for about a year due to insurance battles. I’m so glad to be back on, but after 3 doses it feels like the pain is worse compared to past injections. I use the auto injector in my thigh, because my medicine is normally administered by someone else. I have the same feeling in my stomach the few times I’ve done it there.

I follow all the tips— I let it warm up on the counter for a few hours, then put it in a pocket or hold for 30-60 minutes to get it up to body temp. I’ve tried ice at the injection site, which is more hassle than it’s worth imo.

The needle itself is fine. I don’t mind normal injections or vaccines, and I have a fair number of tattoos. What really gets me is the stinging/burning of the medication going in. Is this just a suck it up kind of situation, or does anyone have any tips to make that sensation a little more manageable?

Hi all! Looking for recommendations of programs that offer a teaching certification with completion of a masters. Online or Midwest based.

I started a degree in music ed, and ended up switching to get just a BA in music after completing about 75% of the ed degree because I thought I would never want to teach…. Silly me.

Alternative routes to certification are an option in my state, but I would like to consider a more traditional route if I can swing it. Thanks all!
