Highlights from this day
- lean_mass_lex — unrelated but if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle 13:31
- thyroid_thea — for the archive do you count to five before withdrawing 15:47
- thyroid_thea — i have eight sites and an eight week rotation. it is written on the fridge let the alcohol dry. that is ninety percent of "my injections sting" 15:49
- thyroid_thea — nobody here should be telling you where to inject. we can tell you what we do drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly 16:09
- lean_mass_lex — the needle went in fine but it stung going in, alcohol or the compound 16:13

thats normal
fresh pin
for the archive do you count to five before withdrawing

do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for
