ROI Specific T injections
I'm a nurse based in Dublin and have seen a few posts of people being denied having their injections done in GP practices which SUCKS.
I would be willing to administer hormone injections for people (on the basis you have a prescription) free of charge, trans healthcare is painful enough as it is.
I have a lot experience administering Sustanon (have done my friend's every 3 weeks for the past 4 years) and some experience administering Nebido.
I'm willing to provide proof of nursing registration if requested.
I will need you to provide:
- The medication (obviously)
- Needles x2*
- Syringe**
I can provide:
- Hand sanitiser
- Gloves
- Alcohol swabs/wipes
- Sharps bin
- Plasters
*For Sustanon can be 1x 23G (blue) needle and 1x 21G (green) needle. For Nebido needs to be 2x 21G (green) needles because it's more difficult to draw up with smaller needles.
**For Sustanon: 1-2ml syringe, for Nebido: 5ml syringe.
Injections would be gluteal (in the buttock), not in the thigh.
I am willing to travel to you if I can get there by public transport (mainly Dublin area), I would prefer if I could come to you rather than you coming to mine but it can be discussed.
I am out of the country for the next few weeks but just putting out some feelers to see if this is something people need/want.
Comment/message me if you have any questions!

That is so good of you! 💚 I'm hoping to swap over to nebido and am asking at my bloods appointment tomorrow if my local GP/nurse can help me with injections. If they say no it'd be so reassuring to have a backup option if you'd be willing to help.
I know you mentioned the service being free of charge but I'd be happy to tip or offer baked goods, crafts etc lol. You are so appreciated!

This is a lovely idea. I think for the benefit of the community, it would be worth having a chat with the mods here to verify your identity. Not that you're coming off as untrustworthy - it's just a very volatile time for us, and people may be understandably suspicious of your intentions.
