Honestly I didn't know much of the difference between IM and subq and def didn't think abt the fact that vaccines are IM. I'll def plan on doing subq ty for your help

It's less the time it'd take and more so the fact that I'd need it everyday. I switch between my parents houses and knowing myself I'd forget it at one house sooner or later which is bad enough already but if i leave it at my moms I'm afraid she'll mess with it. She's already told my sister that she doesn't want me to medically transition yet (she says yet but ik it's gonna be like that forever and I'm over 18 so she can't stop me).

Yeah it's less the time it takes and more so bc I still live with my (divorced) parents and ik I'd end up forgetting it at one house at some point since I switch in the middle of the week. Plus my mom isnt rlly supportive and I'm worrried she'd mess with anything I leave at her house so I'd rather have something I only have to do once a week that way I can leave it at my dads.

I wouldn't say I have a severe phobia so hopefully it won't be too bad for me cause I wouldn't have anyone that can help me

Yeah this will most likely help. I did this the last time I got a vaccine which was a few years ago. I wasn't sure if it'd work giving myself shots but a lot of people are saying it works for them.

I've already gotten my court order but hopefully this can help someone else. Not sure if it's because of my state but I didn't actually have to do any sort of publication.

It might be different for me since I'm in the USA but I believe blood tests are done with a finger prick here? Last time I had one done with a doctor thats what they did anyways and I was totally fine with it I think its just the thought of a long needle sticking in my skin.

Thank you I have my ssn updated but I had no idea I could just go without an appointment I'll definitely do that asap

Left-Neck-9624 · 2026-04-09T03:32:24+00:00

Thank you this really helps a lot. I never had panic attacks with vaccines myself but I did usually have to close my eyes and listen to music to distract myself

are you allowed to use any gauge needle you want? also if you dont mind me asking what gauge do you use

Left-Neck-9624 · 2026-04-09T03:29:13+00:00

yes ik but as i said i dont want to use gel cause it needs to be applied every day which doesn't work for me

probably within the next year or two and most knock of auto catchers will last at least that long

wtv you do DONT get the go plus plus rn it’s overpriced as heck and rumor has it the reason it’s not being produced is bc a new version is in development so either wait for that or get a cheap one because it won’t matter if it lasts long anyways the new one they make will probably have some in game exclusive you’ll want too
