Hi this is not really discussion more information.

I went down to book flu jab today. As I've said before I had full node clearance under right arm 13 years ago and 5 from under my left in July. So a bit cautious about sticking needles into either arm. So I asked if I could have it done elsewhere or as drops like the kids. Apparently I can have it in my bum.

As its intermingling I hope they have a long need. My bums big but definitely not that muscular.

really we had ours done at a local pharmacy, you just have to fill in forms and the pharmacist takes you to a private room to inject and I guess they are qualified to inject wherever you wish! Flu jab doesn’t really need much muscle.....

We had to collect ours from the pharmacy . We could take them to a nurses' clinic but Andrew has permission to do his and mine because after nearly 40 years of insulin.....he's an expert.

So perhaps tomorrow.......or next week.? Don't want them running out in February!

Eek...there's a bit of a difference in technique between subcutaneous and intramuscular injections...don't think I'd let my diabetic friend inject me lol

OH is brilliant. He's done the flu for years but also all the anticoagulant ones after ops and the ones for increasing white blood cells too. I never feel a thing.......Some nurses have caused me more pain..
