Needles , syringes swabs and sharps disposal boxes from medisave.co.uk. You need to decide to use either I.M. ( intramuscular ) method of injecting , or sub-cut ( subcutaneous ) , before you order needles . Hope that this helps . Best wishes .
Sorry for hijacking this reply but I just wondered if you had tried both IM and Subcut methods and if so was there any difference in results and absorbing etc? Just curious as I've always used IM.
Also what's the difference in the needles? Is it a gage thing or a length or what?
I have only tried I.M. . But I hear that sub- cut is as effective , just takes a it longer to work .I.M. has the longer needle - I use one inch . The gauge I use is 25 . I don’t know about sub-cut , except that the needle is a lot shorter . The higher the gauge , the thinner the needle
Hi Lurcher-lady Did you get the 1mg/2ml from Greece by any chance? I get those and they do hurt me more than the 1mg/1ml I have at the doctors. I think it's the liquid volume pushing into the muscle. It only starts to sting after the first ml but if I only had 1ml of it, i'd be getting half a 1mg dose so I grin & bear it They may not hurt you- I am a wimp. If you do use these, I'd ask for it to be administered verrrrry slowly. Let me know how you get on compared to the 1ml. I'd be interested to find out if it's just me.
No, a friend sent them from Germany, I just wondered if the bigger volume would mean more pain. I SI now and it’s not a natural feeling to inflict/pain on myself lol. I’ll let you know how it goes, got a few 1ml ones to go yet
