Highlights from this day
- ghk_gia — welts at the site are usually a mild local reaction and rotation sorts it 18:13
- ghk_gia — genuine question i keep getting a small welt at the site, technique or reaction 18:41
- ghk_gia — a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call 18:44

[edited]31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back
slightly off topic but is a small air bubble in the barrel a problem subcutaneously
slightly off topic but is bruising more about the needle or the aftercare
not a problem
i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice
thats normal
