Will we be ok without an injection class?
Dh will be giving me the injections. The class is fifty dollars,...between my copay of thirty on Monday that is eighty dollars. They will have a nurse show us, a website and DVD if we don't go. What do you think we should do? Dh is ok with giving the needles! Btdt advice,.....please.

Re: Will we be ok without an injection class?
Just going based on my experience... but we didn't do an injection class and we were fine!!
Before we would start a new injection, the nurse would show us how to mix/fill the syringe/etc. at the appt.. and that's all we needed.
It's not hard! 
ETA: I don't even think they offer an injection class at my RE

We were fine without the class. However, I have no problem with needles. When a new drug would need to be administered the nurse would go over what to do over the phone.

Not sure where you get your meds from, but Freedom Pharmacy includes a card with all their orders with a link to free online videos. They were very helpful. We never found a need to take a class.

We also paid the $50 for the class and the class was a waste of time. We referred to the online video and DVD. If we had a problem we were able to get a nurse on the phone to walk us through it.
