A Chicken Helped Me Discover What Exactly??

Dear Mayor Piccozzi, I hope this message finds you well.  I just wanted to let you know that the guys over at Fire Station 8 did a great job helping me out this week. It all started when a chicken who lives across from the O’Reilly’s on Post Road wanted to venture out and explore.  She got halfway across the road before she got scared and stopped.  This caused lots of squealing brakes but no…

just took my T shot and it made me realize i've never given my self-injection recommendations!

be SLOW

this is, imo, the single biggest factor in pain reduction. now, for the hadlima, this will require that you use an actual syringe versus the auto-injector system. i understand that not everyone will feel comfortable with that switch, so you do you! this is only advice if it's helpful

but something a dentist i interned for taught me was that a lot of the pain of injections is due to skin stretching from massive, sudden swelling, which makes a lot of sense. so with both my T and my hadlima, i inject and slowly push down. it means the needle is in me for longer - maybe 30, 45 seconds? - but it's so much less painful
