- ferritin_fay — warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is 18:25
- underfill_uma — cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is 19:05
- underfill_uma — do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for 19:21
- underfill_uma — drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly push slowly. fast is what causes the ache afterwards 19:24
i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice
