Hiya, I just did my 2nd injection ever!! I keep having an issue where my beautiful, bubble-free syringe gets one really big bubble when I switch to my injection needle. I've tried drawing air in before switching but it still happens. And I can't seem to get it out without losing all my medication, even though im tapping, holding it upright etc. I have literally no clue what I'm doing wrong? Sometimes I think it's gone, but then I turn the needle up the other way to do the injection and it appears again!! My only theory is that it's because my injection needle is low-deadspace??? But I don't understand how that works... HELP!!! I've wasted so many supplies + so much medication trying to work it out ;-;

AS OF 15 MINUTES AGO I AM OFFICIALLY ON T OH MY GOD!!! Been waiting for this for like 6 years I'm so FREAKING happy. Injecting lowkey wasn't as hard as I've heard either the hardest part was drawing up. GANG IM SO HAPPY!!!!!

My GP told me today she changed her mind about giving me blood tests for my cough legal hormones which pissed me off BUT it means I don't have to wait for an initial blood test anymore YAYYYYY

Hiii I'm sure this gets asked all the time BUT tomorrow I have an appointment with my GP to beg for a bridging prescription or at the very least blood tests for DIY!!! I know bridging prescriptions are pretty rare but I feel like it's worth a go!

Anyway, anyone who's got a bridging prescription etc. have you got any advice for what more I can do to raise my chances of getting one? I've already printed out pages and pages of guidelines and sources, but if you guys have any more I'd appreciate it too!!

Thanks in advance!! I'm just super nervous hahah I have to keep reminding myself wanting healthcare isn't me being bias it's a right lol
