    I just primed mine two minutes ago.   You can use the same needle for priming and your first dose and then remove!  I read the directions I've saved as I was going through it all! 

    good luck!!

    You can prime and use the same needle. No need to change them.

    Good Luck!!!!

    What everyone else said! You want the needle on when priming because a few drops of the meds comes out when priming. Good luck!!!!!!!!

    Worms, just an FYI, my nurse told me not to bother with priming.  She said it just wastes a bit of the liquid gold Stick out tongue
