Question about self-injecting

Bodley profile image
2 Replies

I am now injecting B12 every week on the recommendation of a private GP. It has changed my life, I feel fantastic and am finally able to fully embrace my life and my degree!

It has been going really well and I have self-injected four times now.

I just have a question because I have noticed there's a little B12 left in the syringe each time (the little blue plastic part attached to the needle actually rather than the actual syringe) after I've pressed it down all the way, is this normal? It just concerns me I'm not getting the full dose...?

Thanks

That's totally fine. The syringe is designed to take that into account.
