[QUOTE="ERO, post: 33914, member: 1210"] It sounds like you have had a very productive conversation with your Dr and it is great that he is agreeable to both twice weekly injections and letting you do them yourself after the RN shows you. Good on you for having what can be a difficult conversation and getting him to be more of a partner in your care! Yes, it is easiest to "backfill" an insulin syringe with a standard 20 gauge (or thereabouts) syringe. You can [URL="http://www.medical-and-lab-supplies.com/syringes-and-needles/insulin-syringes.html"]get insulin syringes here very cheapl[/URL]y and your RN maybe able to get you a few larger ones for filling purposes. Just about any insulin syringe will do so don't worry too much about size. Many of us use a 29 gauge 5/8" but a 31 gauge 1/2" works just as well. With Sub-Q you can inject anywhere - stomach area, shoulders, front of your thighs, etc...Don't worry too much about where, as long as you can easily reach, you are fine. Bear in mind that your should have FAR less E2 issues (or no E2 issues) with a twice weekly regimen vs. what you have been doing, so I would recommend starting your 50 mg every 3.5 days (twice a week - say Monday morning and Thursday evening as an example) routine and wait 4-6 weeks before blood work. Change nothing during this time and don't use any AI either, as it is far less likely that you will need any. Then, test Free and Total T and E2 (sensitive assay). I am confident that you will feel a lot better with the more stable levels this protocol will provide. It may take a few weeks to notice, or you may notice sooner - everybody is different on how soon they feel a change. [/QUOTE]
