Taltz where to inject

[Caroline]

I'm about to start Taltz tomorrow. I'm excited after reading a few posts but I have a question. I'm a pretty fat guy with a big ol belly. I always used an autopen with Humira (Did nothing for me) in my leg. I never minded the slight pain. I've got the prefilled syringe for Taltz. Would you old pros still recommend I try to do it in my stomach even though I'm really fat there? Or should I suck it up and try the legs?

Hi Tim,

Welcome to psoriasisclub.  
Good question. Didn’t your dermatologist have a suggestion for that? Maybe you can give him/her a quick call?

I would think that your leg, in the sense of the quick dissolving into your blood would be a sensible thing to do, in your belly it will take a bit longer to dissolve. But you do need a doctor’s opinion to really know that.

It is obvious that in your belly the syringe will hurt less. I have self injected (not Taltz), in my leg and it really hurts, changing to my belly was a relief.

Cheers,
Caroline
