How Do You Feel About The Injectable Injection?

A MONTHLY injection in the BUTT at a clinic causes more discomfort / bother than popping 1 pill, daily. If you MISS (by 2 weeks?), there’s a daily prescribed medicine required, before resuming injections.

Currently, I take 3 other meds (I’m old) plus many supplements (divided into AM, PM).

What’s ONE pill? Nothing.

Right now, it doesn't seem very convenient. Unless you can get it at your local pharmacy. I'd be more inclined to consider it when its good for 6 months. I'd like to know how are they maintaining it? Are you doing more or less labs to monitor it?

I could never inject myself. Popping pills is a better method for me. If ain't broke don't try to fix it. I am sticking to taking my pills daily.

It's exactly what I am going to mention my next appointment. I think It will be a more convenient way of treatment for us. My pills work too but I don't want to be keeping up with them.
