Just did my first shot.. A few tips for the first timer..
Just wanted you guys to know how well it went. It was absolutely no problem to inject. What are those guys so affraid of?? :) I can't figure out why so many people are so scared of needles...I've read so many funny stories about it, people getting nervous, panic attacs etc. I guess we are all different but I don't think those of you who are going to inject for the first time should be worried. In fact I think many people get scared because of what they read.
I just did it, plain and simple. Very consentrated but not nervous at all, it was exciteing though.. And I did prepare myself mantally for this event for a very long time.
I think I have a really good tip for the first timers. The day before injecting for real try to stick yourself in the shoulder without injecting.. Just stick it in and aspirate. It will make the first time much easier I think.. ;)
The worst thing is to go out and buy the syringes and needles. Just write it down on a paper and give it to the lady behind the desk and say you want what's on the list.
