I would say that 99% of the jabs Ive done have been self administered. I done my first jab myself and always have done. The only time I had them done by someone else was when I started going out with the nurse. Being a bit naive about PIP and UG labs I figured her injection technique would be flawless and I would gave no pain. So in goes 2mls of CLP NPP into my tricep. Couldnt train for about 3 days due to the pain! She done a few more and to be honest I just feel really uncomfortable having someone else doing it!

My mate has started a cycle and is coming over later today for me to jab him cos he wont do his own! I know a few people like that. One guy was a doorman and a brick shit house but still wouldnt jab himself. I just find it odd

So having nothing better to do this afternoon I thought id put this poll up

i do most of my own and have from the beggining, only ones i cant do due to not being able to reach is rear delts and further round the back of tris when siting, missis does those with a 3/4 slin although its hit and miss as she has fainted on more then one ocassion lmao!
somtimes when i get cramp or a dead hand trying to pin medial delt i will get her to push the plunger but thats it tbh, rest of the time i prefer to be in control so at least if i fvck up i only have myself to blame

[Dirty Harry]

I was always a bit nervous with the first time and considered asking someone but tbh it actually `worries` me now how easy I find it, not in a slap-dash chancer kind of way where sterility and cleanliness is called into question, just more in a `second nature` kind of way.

[leerc]

im actualy scared of needles but fine when i jab myself,if i get a blood test done at the docs i shit myself before and end up feeling a little faint/sick, i think its the lack of control when a doc is doing it and im in control when i do it and if anything feels wrong i can stop

[andyboro]

ive always done my own but the new GF is a nurse and she (for some reason) offered to do one for me last week.

hurt like fk!! lol.

Wont be making that mistake again.. I always say i know i wont hurt me.. so id prefer to do it myself.

[Irish Beast]

I just done my mates and hes so nervous. Keeps thinking Im gonna kill him despite having done 100s already. He thinks that a miniscule air bubble is gonna kill him!

[mattyb009]

always done it my self. contemplating asking my Mrs to do my glutes as ive never done them yet.

Had jabs from a nurse before and the rate in which she felt the need to brake the skin and then inject oil was a bit quick for my liking.

I never like the idea of someone else jab me I prefer to be the one inflict pain in myself.

[bert.edge]

always done my own, would never contenplate jabbing anyone else to be honest.

Yeah its abit of a weird one when you first start doing it, and a wee bit scary, but if its gotta be done just get on with it!

I started with quads, then delts and now glutes. All a piece of piss now ive done a few of each!

[Whysoserious]

have to do it myself

would not trust no one to do quad shots on me, if i tweak/hit a nerve i know about it.

[dan nukem]

Let my ex do it a few times, nobody else tho.

Prefer to do it myself and sterility is also an issue, less people involved = less room for error.

[Luccabertone]

Mrs does mine as i'm needle phobic, To the extent that i've refused anaesthetic in hospital for various injuries lol

[werdna]

50/50 for me, depending on who's around when its jab time.

I always get my other half to do delts not really sure why as she did once put the pin in my tricep by mistake claiming "that bit was sticking out more".

[redneil75]

always did it myself. i've probably done more IM shots than most nurses and know my own body.

[Clyde]

Oh how I tried to jab myself, just couldn't do it. I get my GF to do it and the first was completely painless, I didn't heat the oil up on the second jab and about 3 hours later I feel like I've been dead legged, but aye I'm a total shite bag , just can bring myself to do it.
