Stims timings

Morning, I was just wondering if anyone knew what the maximum time either side of my normal injection time means it would wouldn’t interfere with the stims. Hope that makes sense 🤔

I have been taking mine at the same time everyday but have an appointment tomorrow just b4 I would normally take the 1st injection. It would mean taking it about 30/40 mins b4 I normally do & scared that that is too far a gap.

I could take the injection with me & do it in the car..slightly concerned about the looks I might get but if I need 2 do it then I will. Just wanted to check.

Thanks xxx

I always try and do my at exactly the same time. I’ve done them in pub toilets, in the car, at the theatre! Could you do it in the toilet where your appointment is?

I think for stims it’s fairly important that you keep them spaced but I wouldn’t imagine that 30 mins would do too much damage. Maybe just check with your clinic xx

Many thanks for your response. Never thought of the toilet of where I’m going 🤦‍♀️ Think I would prefer to keep them at the same time so will figure it out. Hopefully there’s not too many people about xxx

Hi Inf. Up to an hour earlier should be fine, then back to your normal routine. Hope all goes well for you. Diane
