I have just been approved for Dupixent - what should I expect?

I have a follow up appointment soon, I'm kind of scared of injecting myself and from the stories I hear it's painful. I feel like I wouldn't be able to inject myself I prefer someone else to do it for me mainly because I can't see myself putting a needle in my leg or anything, I'm only used to it being done by a nurse for blood tests and things.

Also, how can I reduce the pain? Did you experience any side effects? If you were to give a percentage, how much has it cleared your eczema? I'm switching from an immunosuppressant so I'm expecting to have a flare up in between until dupixent starts working (although I'm currently going through a mini flare right now)
