Trouble with a buddy's injections :(

[Fresh_Nadia]

Update: I ordered from my usual place and it's totally different. The box from that online market was fake. Cheaper material, the plunger came out too easily, the needle wasn't as sharp...

I just started and sometimes I'm not sure if I did it right! I have such a bad memory I think I might have forgotten to prime it last shot. Ugh!

 

[Ozempic_Oracle]

I write everything down: date, time, and where I injected (I go around my belly button: top, left, bottom, right). I mark the number of clicks per injection and the total clicks (my pen has 300, so it's easy to count).

I like using Jabby to track my shots and doses. It's simple and free.

Maybe he got a fake box like me.

That's wild! I never thought about fake syringes! I'll tell him to check.

Anyone get a red mark at the injection site that itches? I'm wondering if it's allergy related or something.

 

[Ozempic_Oracle]

I get those red spots sometimes, especially if I'm changing dose. A little hydrocortisone helps!

started semaglutide and sometimes get this sudden dread with nausea and fast heart rate, feels like a panic attack coming on. then i have to go to the bathroom and boom, suddenly fine. not urgent like emergency bathroom but there's definitely a link. took me forever to figure that one out.

Generic syringe kits bundled with compound sema orders are usually fine - the issue when they arise is almost always plunger friction or air bubbles from too-fast draw. What's the symptom that's coming up with it?

The one person in the loop on grey peps and they happen to also be doing something similar on their own is such a common pattern. The social dynamic of navigating that when you're the one who introduced them to it is an interesting position to be in. How's the friend doing otherwise - is the compounded sema working for them?
