For my mega I wanted to celebrate the arrival of October. The leaves are changing and will fill the air with the most wonderful scents and the air is cool and crisp. Grab a rich and warming bowl of stew or soup, a book or a craft, a warm blanket, and get cozy with me <3

The photo is one I recently took, not my best work but I wanted something original and on theme but not doxxing

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

So, i did my shot today and i think i may have developed scar tissue on one of my injection sites? I rotate where i shoot up, but i guess it can still happen over time (I've switched to IM about one and a half years ago, so i haven't been at it for very long). I kind of struggled to pierce the skin, took me three tries to get through in spite of pushing real hard. But i felt no pain at all when doing that. And when i finally managed to get the needle in, there was no pain either, but going through the flesh felt really off, kind of fibrous and ... dry. Anybody ever come across something similar? This was on my thigh muscle, i've always been using this alternating between the left and right leg and nothing like this has ever happened before.

    You can get scar tissue from repeated use of the same spot. When you say you rotate, how big is the area you're using? For the vastus lateralis injection site you can use about the middle third of your outer thigh, so it's not a small area.

    Yeah i probably should move more outwards of were i usually shoot up, i mostly just alternate legs but generally end up in the same about 4x4cm area. Thanks for the advice.
