feels better today but make sure you inject T in the glutes or at least a good way up the quads

    I know this is a common thing to do, but I don’t have money to do this. Not only would I have to purchase 3 separate items to even be able to do this, but I would essentially lose my current setup which is a fixed needle safety syringe. I’ll take the mild inconvenience for the time being.

    The pain isn’t a factor for me at all as well. My stomach got fucked when I had a tummy tuck about 6 years ago. I have no feeling from my belly button to about 5 or 6 inches below that.

    Either way, it is good information to pass around.

    EDIT: I hope that didn’t come off as aggro. I apologize if it did.

      Don’t worry, you didn’t come off as aggro at all. Lmk if I’m giving too much unsolicited advice, for that matter.

      Fwiw idk your financial situation but this is really cheap. I bought 100 needles of each size and 200 syringes for like $20 like a year ago, split them all with my gf, and I’m only just starting to run out. Juggling the three pieces was a pain at first but I can basically do it in my sleep now

        It’s something I would definitely want to do once the money comes up. I have had trouble at times piercing my skin in the past so it’s something I should consider. Just finances are really really bad right now so it’ll have to wait.
