minus-squarepearsaltchocolatebarlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-210 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-squarehitmyspot@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 months agoProbably a subcutaneous habit when typing.

minus-squarepearsaltchocolatebarlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 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-squarepearsaltchocolatebarlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 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.
