First time cycle here. I don't like needles but don't really want to have to rely on having a buddy do the injections. Any hints on overcoming this phobia and learning to self administer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help.    | ||

i was the same way my first injection cycle. i had an experienced buddy of mine do the first shot. the next week he was not around, so i had to do it myself. i filled the syringe and held it for about 10 minutes, saying " i gotta do this". BAM!!!! did it with no problems. i now get so excited to inject that i get my stuff ready the night before so all i have to do in the morning is stick. all i can say is remember to BREATHE!!! i forgot to breathe my first time i did it myself, and i almost passed out. just keep a normal breathing pattern and you will be OK. TRUST ME. god luck. peace...Arms  | ||

The first time, you're going to be nervous no matter what. It really doesn't hurt though, just take a shower to relax you, dry off completely with a clean towel, have the pin and barrel ready (use a drawing needle if you have one), swab the spot down (I'm assuming you know where to inject) and sit down in a kitchen chair with arms, adjacent to a mirror. Use the mirror and feel to hit the spot, use the arm of the chair to steady your holding hand. Since you're already seated, you don't have to worry about your knees getting weak or anything. I take a small clock with a second hand and watch that for the duration of my shot -- I try to go 1 cc per minute. Make sure you pullback after you stick it in initially (no blood is good) then, try not to shake too much and just do it. Use the mirror to see your pullback, gauge your speed and see when the shot is done. Hope this helps. ------------------ | ||

I use 18 guage, seriously. I've read that that is the best size to use. I've found that if you want the least amount of pain it is best to find a spot on your ass with few nerve endings. Just poke the needle lightly in different spots on on your ass until you find a spot that is not very tender. Then slowly apply pressure. Yoy won't have to push hard. | ||

Hey Guys, Just finished and it worked out fine. It was a little difficult loading the Deca in an 18g, though. But I'm looking forward to the next round! Yah! Thanks for your support. |
