Who would ship off a bottle of an injectable medication and not include any needles? (Don't bother answering.)

It was weird enough last month, when I got a 30-day supply with 25 needles. They had to break open a ten-pack to avoid giving me 30 needles, so it was deliberate. I figured it wasn't worth the hassle to ask for the other five, especially at their shipping prices, so I reused five needles once each. That's not as awful as it sounds, but I'd still prefer not to do it. Now I guess I'm supposed to snort this liquid, or perhaps use it as a suppository. Or maybe they figure by now I have a permanent little hole bored in my skin and I can just pour it in. Twenty-five needles must be the industry standard for "number required for the average patient to bore a permanent little hole in the skin for all future medicine doses."

Thank goodness my cat is diabetic. (That's kind of a weird sentence, isn't it?) I'll use some of hers.

Sheesh.
