Anyone have this reaction before ?

Hope this helps!

Sorry, was not about the paper calculation, but how do you draw exactly 6.25u on a syringe?
Just to clarify, are saying .0625 ml / 0.0625cc?
I use similar (thinner) Easy Touch 31G 1cc(1ml) 5/8", and would be hard press to see the difference between 6 or 7u unless I use a magnifying glass. And if I am off, would mean a 15% difference in dosage. One suggestion if you want to stay within that dosage range is to use 0.3cc syringes.

Yes, some stoppers feel harder if you are not 100% in the center. When you have a moment, take a stopper out and study it. Or rotate the vial, and see the open slot in the stopper! You got to hit within that gap. They vary in design.

As FlowerFairy said, if you use it thru 2-3 stoppers before pinning, you will feel the 'dullness' which can cause a small isr. Pulling more bac into the syringe, to dilute more, can further dull the bevel. I do not pin in the belly, where the 'baby' skin is. I use the love handles, where the skin is more leather like and thicker fat.

Adding 3ml of bac to the 2ml vial, will make it harder to draw the first dose out because the air gap is very small. Creates a vacuum. Need to pull air in the syringe, inject it in the vial, before you draw, to create small pressure.

Thank you so much. Sounds like to me it may be something to do with the dilution and the amount being injected. I’ll check out the link you posted for bac water and in my new vial I’ll try a new amount… ofcourse as always I’ll read and research before mixing and injecting my next vial 🙂. What is your opinion on the needles to use ?

I've been using the Easy Touch 30g 5/16". The 31 gauge is so fine, I've bent the needle a couple of times. As @AndyPanda mentioned, I'm thinking of using 1/2" for the things that sting. But glp-1 doesn't sting for me.

Thanks! I tested some bac water today and no reaction. My guess it has to do with the tirzepatide. Going to try injecting in my thigh next week with a little more bac water . Thinking 100 units for 45 mg is too much for me . Going to try 300 units of bac

I've never had any real ISR's (injection site reactions). About the worst I've ever had was a little PIP (post-injection pain) and on a handful of occasions a little temporary itching.

Anything other than Hospira BAC (or some of the more reliable Chinese), including the mystery bathtub waters - especially from the Amazonian Empire - is always a risk IMHO, but if you used the name-brand stuff I would easily rule that out.

The high concentration may have played a part, or it could be something as simple as your body over-reacting to the needle puncture itself or a number of other little things. Compared to others I've seen it looks pretty mild so as long as it clears up I wouldn't worry about it too much.

One of the things I learned early on in this adventure was to invest in some 3ml syringes and needles (25 gauge) to use for reconstitution. It makes the process easier and faster since a larger bore needle moves a lot more fluid a lot faster than a 30 or 31 gauge insulin syringe, and it makes using more than 1ml of fluid to reconstitute a one-step process and probably a bit more accurate.

So this could be it as well… I been using a tanning bed before vacation next month. I bet the uv light is making the injections on my stomach react due to slightly burning etc. tried the bac water in my thigh no reaction today. Going to wait for the reaction to clear and then try future injections in thigh for bit .

also think it could be reacting from using a tanning bed… may be making my skin sensitive esp where I inject,.. may try thigh when this all clears up…
