drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly

Highlights from this day
- ms_ms_mira — pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising, take that with a pinch of salt 10:35
- mira_pins — update on the earlier thing i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place 11:51
- mira_pins — cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes 12:27
- mira_pins — i keep getting a small welt at the site, technique or reaction 12:32
90 degrees or 45
does the injection site matter for how quickly it hits

ok so nobody here should be telling you where to inject. we can tell you what we do
absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound
i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice
how do you avoid hitting the same spot twice when the marks fade
anyone got a rotation map they would share
