Highlights from this day
- swab_dry_first — i changed nothing except letting the swab dry and the stinging stopped completely 23:18
- sharps_bin_sid — 31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back 23:22
- sharps_bin_sid — drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly 23:58
a proper sharps bin costs almost nothing and pharmacies will take it back
absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound, i have it written down somewhere
let it dry

does the injection site matter for how quickly it hits
45 degrees
how many sites are in your rotation
90 degrees works fine if you have the tissue for it. 45 if you do not

small bubble is fine

push slowly. fast is what causes the ache afterwards
cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes, still working it out
