A genuinely late dose: what the labelling says and what people do

On the subject in the title: A genuinely late dose: what the labelling says and what people do Working notes rather than a conclusion.

Reporting something rather than asking about it, in case the pattern is useful to anyone else.

Over 28 weeks I logged this consistently: date, dose, time of day, and a simple severity score from 0 to 4 for each symptom. That is 173 data points, all self-reported, all unblinded, and collected by someone who knew what he expected to find. Treat it accordingly.

The reason I am posting is that my experience does not match the shape people usually describe here, and I would like to know whether that is unusual or whether the usual description is just the loudest version.

Cold solution and stinging: warming the vial in your hands for a minute before injection reduces the stinging sensation substantially. This is the simplest thing to try if injections are uncomfortable.

post #2 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

Injection discomfort: comes from needle gauge (finer = less discomfort), volume (smaller = less discomfort), temperature (room temperature or warmed is less uncomfortable than cold), and technique (smooth, purposeful injection is less uncomfortable than hesitant). All four are under your control.
