minus-square@pearsaltchocolatebarlink7•edit-25 months agoI do my testosterone shots subconsciously subcutaneously instead of intramuscularly. Had my thigh lock up for a solid week after I hit the wrong spot, so fuck that. Drawing it up takes fucking forever, though.
minus-square@hitmyspot@aussie.zonelinkfedilink5•5 months agoProbably a subcutaneous habit when typing.
minus-square@Hadriscus@lemm.eelinkfedilink4•5 months agoDon’t wanna sound judgemental but that’s the kind of habit that really gets under my skin
minus-square@WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•5 months agoThe only test I’ve given patients was super thick. Is yours thin or are you putting that oil subq?
minus-square@pearsaltchocolatebarlink2•5 months agoI’m doing it subq. I split it into two doses and do it twice a week. A 27g needle doesn’t take a super long time, but 29g is more comfortable.
minus-square@papalonian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•5 months agoAt my work I see most people using a large needle to draw up and a small needle to inject. Don’t know if that’s doable in your situation.
minus-square@pearsaltchocolatebarlink2•5 months agoIt is, but I ordered 27-29g insulin syringes to try out. Once I use those up I’ll order 27g needles and use up my 18g and 23g tips.

Did you mean subcutaneously?
I guess I missed that autocorrect
