I’ve just had loading jab 5 and due 6 on Monday.

My daughter who self injects other substance subq is here till Sunday morning but could show me how to do it but would it be too much to do it either Saturday or Sunday please?

I don’t want to overdo it at the beginning

Thank you

I would do it on Saturday . Every other day is quite common.

A great chance to have her demonstrate on you. I don't think it'll be too much at all.

When I first began injecting, I injected 1000mcg daily, and had no ill effects. After that, frequency was reduced to weekly, then every other week, which was not enough and my symptoms returned worse than before. Since August 2021 I have been injecting 1000mcg (same as 1mg) daily. I am currently 72 years old, and older people are sometimes thought to need more frequent doses.

Not what you're looking for?
