What is the protocol for giving yourself injections with a syringe? (For Candida infection)?

Let me start by stating this fact. I know a lot of you on here are fantastic people and are very caring and compassionate… but I am without health insurance, and a single white male making minimum wage while in college. I cannot afford health care, nor do I trust “free clinics” in my area to give any medical advice. I am a common sense research working on a Masters Degree, with a Bachelor of Science.

I’ve never been a fan of needles, (or doctors for that matter) but I’ve recently came to the conclusion that I’ve had a condition known as “candida” for quite awhile now (years). (spit tests match EXACTLY what is described as symptoms, EVERY time I spit) I’ve ordered some “inject-able fluconazole” and some syringes, but I’ve only given a diabetic their shots before, never on myself. I have all the proper dosage amount information, but it is suggested to inject into “fleshy muscle areas” like the hips or thigh.
My question is:
How do I know when the needle is in the muscle tissue, and what are the signs of improper administration of an injection?

Woah, slow down there. Where are you plotting to inject, and why, exactly?
Candida is not a disease, in and of itself.
Candida (specifically c. albicans) is a fungus that most people have living in their guts, perfectly normally and healthily. It quite often causes infections in the female ********* ( known as “yeast infections” or “thrush”) and can sometimes cause infections elsewhere, such as the mouth or the blood stream.
Seeing as you’re a man, not a woman, and you mention spit, I infer you’ve got oral candida? This is very very unusual except in patients whose immune systems are not working – such as cancer patients on chemotherapy, people with AIDS, or with bone marrow failure. The suggestion that you’ve had it for years, seems very very unlikely
But – are you an asthmatic? The other circumstance oral candiasis happens in is people who use steroid inhalers (e.g. beclametasone) for asthma, as it damps down the immune response just in your mouth, especially if you’re not taking it right.
Fluconazole, which you’ve ordered, is the treatment for candida (its an anti-fungal) but I’d be very very surprised if you needed to give it IM (intramuscularly) – usually we give it as a cream or spray direct to the area where there’s candida.
My advice is – 1) dont inject the fluconazole just yet.
2) Why do you reckon you have candida? Could you describe?
3) The best solution is to go and see a doctor. I realise in your country not everyone has the right to see a doctor for free, but you say there are free clinics in your area? Why wouldn’t you trust them?
If you acutally have had candida infections for some time, it would be worth investigating, due to the unlikely but possible chance that it is a sign of something much more serious.
I was given one fluconazale pill 150mg for a suspected yeast infection. (my bum, lol) My immune system was weak from taking prednisone for allergies in the summer. It was just a one dose pill although I reckon woman take it for three days but not too sure on that one.
