Highlights from this day
- HPLC_Hank — update on the earlier thing i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice 13:16
- HPLC_Hank — a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call 13:30
- HPLC_Hank — a proper sharps bin costs almost nothing and pharmacies will take it back, still working it out 15:22
- HPLC_Hank — follow up absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound, we shall see i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade… 15:36
follow up is there any reason to warm the vial in your hand first
update from 15 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site reactions stopped
welts at the site are usually a mild local reaction and rotation sorts it

ok so cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes
