Switching to Intramuscular Injections
Switching to Intramuscular Injections
At my last telehealth appointment, I asked my provider if I could switch to injections after reading some advice on here. Taking the strain off of my liver seems like it can only be a good thing!
I am scheduled for an instructional appointment tomorrow morning to learn how to administer them properly. Nervous, but looking forward to the change!

I think the product is called AutoJect! I looked into it when I was planning and researching starting HRT. I’m not on injections yet, but if I ever am I would get that. Basically turns a normal syringe into an epi-pen type auto-injector. From what I can tell they are reusable and take a lot of the haste out. Designed generally for kids that need to be able to administer their own insulin I think.
EDIT: See below comment for the exact right product, the one I new of was for slightly different use cases.
Looks like that one is for subcutaneous only, but Union Medico makes a similar product for IM
Thanks for double checking me on that!! I will be bookmarking that one instead!!
For sure!
Picked one of them up for myself, along with a giant box of 1ml syringes, when I started injections. Totally recommend, works great
I just gave that one a look! It seems like it would be great, I'd love to not actually have to do the poking myself lol. Where did you buy it? Haven't found a source online yet
Right from the site! It's a bit of a maze there, direct link: https://unionmedico.com/product/super-grip/
The syringe / needle options don't super matter, it includes the attachments for all the syringe sizes in the package.
