Hi Its me dilew..hello everyone..hey scared rabbit...dont thinkabout it too much. I dont have any trouble.Im not crazy about how hard it is to push..I have done all my shots all over my thighs...I squeeze the chub..you dont even feel the needle going in..the only tricky part is after its in without pushing down harder on the already in needle you have to press this very hard plunger in. I have found just do it..dont think about it too much....I havent had any trouble after 11 shots. I get alittle blood sometimes...you need to talk to us more. its seems your getting discouraged...dont. your so sweet and wonderful and man look out that window at those gorgeous MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Your gonna be ok....focus on all of the good. you know so many of us could have been told this was aids instead..similar ways to get it...we didnt..I try everyday.to focus on the good...once your in treatment and the everyday sides..you simply forget...tell us about Canada it looks so beautiful....and you never did tell us about the Bahamas......are there any pictures....your a doll....dilew

ps some ladies on here get really silly after they start treatment talking about third breasts and things...do yourself a favor cling to them they are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!actually i should say people........not just ladies......has it been beautful weather by you.....its awesome here in good ole NJ....even though I dont feel as much as I usually do I know when Im driving along that I normally squeal over the flowers and green and summery stuff..so Im gonna believe that and be happy even though I feel numb alot..its the medicine...Im smarter than the medicine,hahahahahahahahah

I had this happen to me a few times as well. Take your time and do not make any quick motions with the needle. Injecting into a muscle like your leg helps but I did not like injecting there myself. In time I was forced to because of all the different drugs I had to inject. Another technique is to pull the skin away from the injection site immediately after removing the needle slowly. Do not pinch your skin or pull up but when pulling it use your thumb or finger laid flat against the skin. This helped me to keep the drugs where they needed to be and not come flowing back out.

Thank you my friend! I'll try that!

After I get the shot all the way in I count to 10 then pull then needle out and hole pressure with an alcohol pad for another 10 seconds or so. Try this and I hope it works for you.

I hateg shots but I dont seen to mind these , I have done it twice and I gently push the needle in. My problem is pushing the depresser down.
