I give these to myself and i am legally blind with no depth perception. The great thing about intramuscular shots is that you can jab it in, you don't have to be steady for long you just need the angle to be right. There are helpful youtube videos if you look up B12 shot.

This is exactly what I'm running into now. I'm not trans, but I am having to take T for replacement therapy. I was using and auto-injector but my insurance stopped covering that. What have you found works? Any tips for measuring out doses? I'm pretty comfortable injecting, just don't know how to measure and am scrambling to figure this out

Is it possible to put it in a "pen"? My dad (visually impaired) uses insulin and they have an option for it to be in a pen form - it clicks to tell you the dosage and has a little one time use screw on needle tip. The pharmacist may know if it's available or could be put into a generic pen.

Not blind but I am trans!

UnionMedico has a line of auto injectors that folks seem to have success with. Additionally, if you're comfortable with SubQ you could talk to your doc about that. I do subq bc according to multiple doctors it's almost impossible to mess up. I have great levels and they stay steady. Emerging research is even showing that levels may have fewer peaks and valleys with SubQ.

Edit to add: You can also look into T pellets. More and more folks are doing these. They are inserted and dissolve overtime so you go in every 4 to 6 months to get more put in. Something to think about.

Testosterone can be done in the far as well. I find that much easier. I’m the muscle isn’t bad to do on the legs but I found it bugged my legs over time so I’m the far of the belly works for me. A steady hand does help yes. Keep your hand out of the way when you go to inject as well. I don’t jab, I slowly put it against my skin then push it in. Find that easier for me. In the far you just do it wherever you can pinch an inch. It goes in about half an inch or less and gets injected. But of course talk to your doc about this. It’s a new way of injecting testosterone and has been studied and is effective but it’s technically off label. So some doctors may not be aware of it or condone it. But I do find it easier than aiming for a muscle. And if you miss the spot theres no consequences because your usually in a fatty area anyways. When pulling out of the vile the hardest thing I find is aiming for the bottle top. Sometimes I miss and have to get another clean needle. I put my two fingers on either side of the top of the bottle and use my pinky finger of the hand holding the needle to guide it down. If that make sense. I touch the pinky to my finger on the side of the bottle. But you may find it easier to keep all fingers out of the way and hold the bottom of the vial and use the pinky of your needle holding hand to guide downward by placing it on the side of the vial top. That way your one hands out of the way. If your worried about hitting yourself hand while injecting, them only use one hand and use the pinky of your needle holding hand again to guide downward. Once it’s against your skin then you can use your other hand to pinch an inch or pull the skin taught off your doing it into the muscle. I hold close to the needle tip and once it’s in I move my hand up to inject.

Hope that helps a bit.

Maybe you could talk to your doctor about a topical preparation for it, instead of injections? I know they make a gel that you just rub into your skin

Hi! I know it's been very long, but have you figured out a solution? In the same boat
