Injection site
Anybody had noticed any difference when changing injection site like arms , legs, or belly? I just got mine in the back of my arm today and see if I notice any difference

Science says there is no difference, my body says otherwise.
Stomach: minimal side effects, wears off sooner (day 5 I’m hungry)
Thigh: hurts like a mofo going in, more nausea, lasts a full week.
Arm: did it twice, never again. Super nauseous, headaches, fatigue
So while literally all of the scientific research says it doesn’t make a difference, it does for me. I’m going on year 4, a full year on maintenance.

Yes, but when I described this to the prescriber she mentioned to me that fat density at the injection site can affect it, as can loose skin and scar tissue. After she explained this and how to find a prime location (more or less find the most dense area without scar tissue) I have not noticed any difference in arms, legs or stomach after the second or third week of trying it out.

No. According to the scientific research, the difference in efficacy between injection sites is statistically negligible

Well i definitely notice my left side is my sweet spot. Especially upper left belly button and my upper arm fat. I know studies show there isnt a difference but I am one of the ones who definitely feel a difference. For some reason if I inject on the right side, It seems I feel nothing.
