Also, in the meantime I am only going to be injecting on weekdays and skip the weekend. I would love peoples' opinions on whether they think I should still be switching between all 7 sites, or if I can drop out two of my least favorites - say my arms since they are often exposed I know we aren't doctors, but what would you do?
Hi,
I haven't heard it but with as long as the 1/2 life is reported to be it would make sense to do fewer shots.

Personally I don't ever use my arms because they were getting dented and I wear sleeveless tops but I do shoot in my butt and back of my thighs...which are never seen in public, lol.
