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 did the slow way. To afraid to eventually break the needle of.
U won't break the needle by inserting it into yourself, skin and fat are far too flexible to provide ample force to snap it! Take it from a girlie who has been on E since January (and has taken medications subcutaneously for over 4 years), it's a lot less painful with a single, quick motion!
The pain was basically non existent, so it is fine the way I did it.
I do two subq injections a week. It's honestly kind of a lottery. Sometimes it's painless, other times it stings something awful. Way better than 2-3x daily pills tho.
