I never injected myself until about a year ago, now every other Saturday I give myself an injection of Repatha. It a drug for lowering your cholesterol, it's not a statin, which I became allergic. This goes to the liver and stops the body from creating cholesterol.

The first time I watched a video on youtube and called Repatha and a nurse talked me through the process. There are some Repatha's that are in an injector pen, which you just press against your body and don't even see the needle.

Forever reason, the ones I get from Walmart Pharmacy at Colony are like regular needles. I give it to myself in my stomach. There is absolutely no pain, no bleeding, and it's really not a big deal anymore.
