injections

[rossi_mac]

When I was first diagnosed I was briefly told thigh stomach and buttocks.

I soon devised a system (Not my fault I'm a bloke!) Breakfast I do left thigh lunch is stomach either side, dinner is right thigh, and night time is buttocks.

After a few weeks I was having trouble on both thighs, almost couldn't put needle in, the nurse later told me that there is a nerve running down the body so do not inject on the top of the thigh but the side, it made a vast difference.

Even now I sometimes stray to far off the ideal zone I'm even considering working out the ideal area, and marking it with a marker then after a few weeks maybe getting a tatoo so I always hit the right zone!? Crazy I know, as by the sounds of it these areas may become over used in years to come!

Anyway I'm off, night night.

The nurse tryed an injection on my arm with skin pinched and skin not pinched and it was sore when not pinched and blood came out, and the only way i could do it myself was without pinching lol

i think i am going to get the nurse to talk to my mum so she can maybe do injections for me now and again when i cant reach those places lol
im surprised my mum was never taught in the first place but i guess its because i injected myselof from day one and found it pretty easy.

its weird cause i can inject myself but i hate it wen i see on tv some1 giving some1 else an injection and i feel a bit sick after that.

i have tried markin myself before so that i remember where i last injected lol but then i get marks most of the time so it isnt really that hard to find lol

but thanks for all ur advice and tips everyone, you lot r a great help 🙂 xx
