- reed_reta — cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes 23:10
- slow.taper — genuine question a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it 23:19
- reed_reta — if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle 23:34
- declared_value — i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice, thats just me 23:41
- declared_value — warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is 23:42

*VendorInvestigate not the other one
how slowly should you actually push
drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly
whats your sharps disposal setup, mine is a jar and i know thats wrong
warm it first
not a problem

how many sites are in your rotation
let the alcohol dry. that is ninety percent of "my injections sting"

never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves
mark it down
