Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Bill, The tx shots are just like your insulin shots, IM not IV, so there shouldn't be any problems with air bubbles. An air bubble in the muscle won't cause any damage.

Nope it is not 100% foolproof nothing is and we can not allow or fears or concerns get to the point of crippling us or with our health and tx issues. If we did we would all be up the proverbial creek without a paddle or a bucket for back-up and a big hole in our boats. Tx meds come pre-filled or with self inject devices also - almost foolproof for full tx's. All The Best To You and Everyone.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Bill, that would get old real fast. If you do your own shots, you will be able to go on short trips. Give yourself the shots anywhere you are. If you go to the dr office, you are tied to that office weekly.
