Yep Matty, I've had those myself (still do have them in my arsenal BTW!) I'm assuming you have the stat dose pens? What would you like to know?

Have you read the leaflet that comes with it? I won't type them all up here unless for some reason you didn't get a information leaflet! (Its LOONG!)
I find the best place to stab myself is in the side of my waist, some others use their arm or thigh.. the choice is yours, its only a subcutaneous injection so it isn't deep. Push it against yourself hard, you don't want to miss and waste it because as I said its only a tiny needle.. then press the button down, it can be quite stiff so it takes some effort.
Good luck with it and let us know how you get on! BTW you can use two doses in a 24 hour preiod but you must leave at least an hour between doses due to the vasoconstriction I was telling you about on the other thread.
Did you ask about Oxygen at all? Now that really IS my wonder drug!! Its my first choice every time and when your doctor realises you are going to be wanting these injections every day he is going to be alot more receptive to how cheap O2 is in comparison!
