Injection burnin' again!

[Fiber-Dude]

Ugh, I just pinned my first dose from a fresh vial of L-15, and it's on fire! I've been using Tirz for a while, but this is a new source for me.

Hey, maybe you should add this to one of the existing threads about injection site issues, rather than starting a new one?

@QueenAsh, do you know the pH level of your bacteriostatic water? Did you filter the solution before mixing? How much BAC did you use?

 

[Fiber-Dude]

I used 55 tick marks of BAC water for the 15mg of Tirz. Then I injected 10 ticks of that mix.

 

[Fiber-Dude]

My bad, everyone.

 

[Robin18]

No worries, just easier to keep similar questions and answers in one place, that's all!

I alternate injection spots every week - one week in the tummy, the next week in the top of my thigh. I've been reading that thigh jabs can minimize some side effects. I'm getting acid reflux like crazy.

I'm kinda nervous about injecting into my thigh. Seems like it would hurt more than the stomach. Does it feel different?

I'm not sure location will help with the acid reflux. The medication causes it, not the injection site, right? Maybe splitting your dose into two smaller injections, a few days apart, might help.

It's worth noting that the needle included with these pens is really short. It barely goes past the skin into the subcutaneous fat. I wouldn't worry too much about hitting muscle.

 

[Fiber-Dude]

Thanks, Nikki_92. That makes me feel better about trying my thigh next time. I'm tired of the stinging!

I've been injecting in my thigh since 2019, after I realized that injecting into my tummy caused too many instances of low blood sugar. The outside of the thigh works great for me!
