My Syringes came in via mail today and so I did my first injection right away. Since Im doing Monotherapy I started with 5mg to see where it leads me. This was also the first time injecting myself with anything. It was kinda scary, but next time it will be way easier.


I’ve been self-administering medications subcutaneously for over 4 years, with a prescription. It’s genuinely really hard to fuck up a subcutaneous injection,and watching a single video on how to do it (or reading a nurse’s guide lime I did) is more than enough to understand it. Subcutaneous injection is an injection into the fat layer, so it does not involve hitting a vein or muscle. The most common points of administration are the abdomen and the thighs.
