Title: Partial Injection Question
Post by playfair on Feb 20th, 2022 at 4:34pm
In the middle of my earliest bout ever, and the timing couldn't be worse as I'm travelling overseas in just over a week where I won't have access to oxygen.

I got one 6mg "kit" of sumo injection (1 pen, 2 vials) and it was the only type the pharmacy had.  I've never done the injection before, but would like to stretch this to multiple doses since it cost $100.

Is the stomach ok as a site?  Really pushing my alertness at 2am and that seems to be the easiest spot to see.  Also, a Dr. friend of mine cautioned about reusing the needle; how much of a concern is this with this medication?  Has anyone sterilely transfered the med to single-use insulin syringes?

Thanks for any insite you can provide.

Playfair,  this is from a discussion quite some years ago but it may help.  Also, stay in touch because others will be along who know all about these little tricks of our trade.
