mark it down

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

New independent result logged — KP, lot H-2814, purity 98.6% (PeptideMeter).

does injecting a cold vial hurt more or am i imagining it

follow up a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it

31G in 8mm or 12.7mm for abdomen

slightly off topic but let the alcohol dry. that is ninety percent of "my injections sting"

welts at the site are usually a mild local reaction and rotation sorts it

90 degrees works fine if you have the tissue for it. 45 if you do not, your mileage will differ

how slowly should you actually push

coming back after 18 months, has the pinned technique guide changed

31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back

let it dry

Recon calculator: 30mg in 1.5ml = 4mg/ml.

45 degrees

nobody here should be telling you where to inject. we can tell you what we do

pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising

try the thigh

warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is

do you aspirate, or is that only an intramuscular thing

*that should say weekly

if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle

31G 8mm

90 degrees or 45

the needle went in fine but it stung going in, alcohol or the compound

i have eight sites and an eight week rotation. it is written on the fridge

small bubble is fine

i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place, someone check my working
