At my last telehealth appointment, I asked my provider if I could switch to injections after reading some advice on here. Taking the strain off of my liver seems like it can only be a good thing!
I am scheduled for an instructional appointment tomorrow morning to learn how to administer them properly. Nervous, but looking forward to the change!
I may be the weirdo here, but I enjoy the science project aspect of it every time. I get to be all sterile and precise. I use a single use syringe and needle to put a hormone preparation in my thigh. When I find a good spot and nail the technique, I barely bleed at all. It’s just good fun.
Honestly, same! There’s something really fun about getting everything set up and getting a good no pain no blood injection 😀
Now that I’ve done my first injection, I totally understand this. It is cool to get out all the equipment and follow the steps carefully and exactly, and I only had the tiniest pinprick of blood! There was essentially no pain, either. I guess it was a lot scarier in my head than it is in reality lol
