We can make up a cheering song

I attempted to do a manual shot earlier. It ended in failure. I couldnt make myself actually pierce the skin. I'm going to autoject it in a few minutes

I'm going to try the manual injection again tomorrow.

If your needles are like mine, they are kinda dull....I'm going to complain about that next week....they should be sharper and easier to pierce with...

Good Luck!

I just gave myself a shot (autoject-ed) and you might be right about the dullness. When they first go thru the skin, that's the most painful part...like I'm using a yarn needle to inject. (yarn needles are fairly thick and are very blunt on the business end)

They do need to sharpen up the needles. Might be able to inject easier if they did.

Nice description. Maybe that was my issue, or one of them (side effects). It was always hardest getting it started.

Maybe if they used sharper needles, then maybe we might not get the site reactions from the needles having to shove themselves into our skin. If they were sharper, then they might just slide in easier and cause less damage to the skin.
