Highlights from this day
  • bea_reconstitutes — abdomen two inches out from the navel, avoiding anything that has been injected in the last month 10:19
  • abdo_two_inch — genuine question the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small 10:25
  • salt_bridge — ok so i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place 11:55
  • two_ml_two — a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call 12:06
  • drawup_dee — i inject the back of my own arm and it is awkward but doable with a mirror 12:44

genuine question the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small

right so never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves

ok so i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place

welts at the site are usually a mild local reaction and rotation sorts it
