Ready, Aim, Shoot!

So I have been injecting myself with Cortexaphan for a week now.  It is still not easy.  Thankfully some other needle phob invented the "auto-ject" so I don't have to see a needle actually go into my skin.  It is all secreted away in a blue and grey plastic "gun".  The worst part is the loud CLICK that it makes.
Usually the actual injection does not hurt.  It is the aftermath that is bothersome.  The meds go subdermal and spread out.  Then my body sends histamines after it cuz it's all like "What the heck are you doing?  There's all this crazy liquid under the skin that we have to mop up!"  So then the area gets kind of puffed up like I was bitten by a prehistoric mosquito and it starts to itch and sting a little.  Thankfully that lasts about 5 minutes and then it's over.
So I am going to have to inject myself pretty much for the rest of my life.  The rest of my life.  I find this to be really overwhelming.  I know that there are a lot of people out there who have been injecting themselves for much longer than a week and they just do it.  They just carry on.  I know that after a few months it will be second nature for me to inject my meds and there will be very little thought involved.  It is just a thing that I have to do every evening.
Right now it is still new.  It consumes a lot of my thought in the evening.  I try to inject about 7:30ish every evening so it is done and I can enjoy a little time before bed not thinking about how I have to stick a needle in my arm. hip, thigh, etc.
Which leads me to the thought of drug addicts who shoot up.  They willingly stick needles into any part of their body to get a high.  I really don't want anything that much.  Especially if it involves a needle.
So I will go on with my life and my MS and my daily injections.  I really am not whining about them.  They are just new and I am amazed that I can inject without a lot of tears and hullabaloo.  I think it is the "rest of my life" part that is hard to grasp.
That an the fact that I haven't developed any cool powers like being about to stop bullets or travel to the other universe.  All in good time, all in good time.
