I took a few of the kids' shots, because I feel like it's important for me to understand what I'm putting them through. Doing it myself didn't bother me, but honestly, the pain was worse than the big blood-draw needles, because for some reason with the B12 it keeps stinging for awhile after the needle's out. A different kind of pain, if that makes sense.

Pete, ask your doctor about using a transdermal cream. I guarantee you there's a compounding pharmacy in your city (back in the day all pharmacies were compounding pharmacies, before mass production made them nothing but pill-counters.) Some Walgreens and Target pharmacies have even started offering compounding services, because of the ever-increasing need for people to have their meds prepared with no gluten or other additives. Almost any med can be put into a transdermal cream, the doctor just has to write the prescription that way. They'll give it to you in a collection of metered, capped syringes, so you can measure out exactly 1 mL of the cream or whatever concentration you're supposed to take.
