    I'm going to give it a try with ED injections, use insulin syringes for measuring and inject IM. Ideally I would find a slin syringe with swappable needle.

    In case I do not, I would go with 28G slin syringe or whatever is the biggest size I could find at a pharmacy. In that case, would it be fine to draw the oil with a regular syringe, take the plunge out of the slin needle and shoot the oil to the slin needle? I guess there's no other way is it? Because I wouldn't want to use the same slin needle for drawing and injecting.

    Or maybe the other way around. Try to draw the liquid with 28G slin needle, measure it, take the plunge out of a normal syringe and shoot all the liquid into the normal syringe.

    What do you think?

    I decided to halve the dose and inject 0.05ml every day. After a few days I noticed my scalp itches all over and hair falls again. It didn't make sense, so I compared the actual volume of using a normal 2ml syringe with 0.10ml precision, and an insulin syringe with 0.05ml precision (by shooting the contents into a 40iu slin syringe). It turns out I used to inject more like 0.06-0.07ml EOD, rather than 0.10ml EOD (equivelent to 40-50mg a week) . Since I switched to the needles with 0.05ml precision and started every day injectons, I have been injecting a comparable dose, every day rather than eod, which probably increased my total intake about 30-40%, hence the hair loss.

    I'm still on the lookout for 40iu slin syringes with replaceable needles. I figure I will have to inject 0.03ml every day, or maybe even less.

    I also got the Free T readings, not sure what it was, but it was also above the range.
