how do you avoid hitting the same spot twice when the marks fade
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
i inject the back of my own arm and it is awkward but doable with a mirror

does injecting a cold vial hurt more or am i imagining it
how do you avoid hitting the same spot twice when the marks fade
i bled a bit, is that a needle depth thing
warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is
does the injection site matter for how quickly it hits
pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising
thats normal
