Does anyone on NPlate self-inject? was created by penlyn63
My weekly counts are holding around 225 and my Dr mentioned self-injecting so I don’t have to visit the center every week. Anyone done this or know anyone who does?

They do that in the UK. I wasn't aware it could be done in the US (I'm assuming you live in the US). Members here from the UK have self-injected.

I'm in the UK. I self injected when I was on Romiplostim. If I'd had to trek somewhere to get given it I would never have tried it.
