I have found that shots go easier when I stand up and elevate the leg on the side getting the shot. The chair used has a foot rest and that is where I place my foot. Also helps when the nurse takes the full recommended twenty seconds to give the lanreotide. I sit a few minutes afterwards to get over the initial dizziness.

After two years the shots still result in four -ten days of diarrhea, brain fog and fatigue. Occasional headache and vertigo also. I just ride it out and accept that sometimes I will only get the minimum done on some days when the side effects and/or NET effects dictate that the to-do list is going to have to wait.
