It's not a big deal, I've been doing it for years. It's B12 btw, nothing nefarious!

My mom, a nurse, gets B12 shots too. She says she can't do it for herself so she always has a nurse-friend do it for her! lol

If I had a nurse friend I probably would have too. It was a case of learn to do it or trek to the doctor two towns away every two weeks.

But it's pretty skilled to take that second picture one-handed. My attempts to hold something up with one hand and shoot with the other usually end up shaken and/or blurry - or the item in my hand suddenly faces in the wrong direction.

It was a bit tricky. I should have used my point and shoot since it is so much smaller but I didn't think of that until later.

Kinda eerie photos, very good and eye catching
I apologize if I have missed something prior...but curious as to what you take the B 12 injections for?

I have pernicious anemia. I can't extract B12 from foods or vitamin tablets so I need to give myself regular B12 injections. It's easily controlled but if you have it and are not diagnosed it can be quite serious. I got a good early diagnosis so the only impact it has on me is the shots and I cannot donate blood, which is unfortunate since I have a rare type.

i was... what you callit, tested for b12 deficiency, and i was so glad it turned out i didn't need to get the shots
not that i mind shots much, but i wouldn't be able to do them myself
great pictures, btw

That's what I thought and when I was first diagnosed I refused to learn to do it. But after having to go in every two weeks for a few months I said fuck it, show me how to do it. First couple of times were a bit fraught but after that I got used to it.
