Got blood today

**donmega** · 07-09-2005, 02:01 AM

Well today i need to do my other half of my E4d shot and as I was aspirating I drew in blood.

It was pretty scary and I pulled out imediatly.

I was pretty shook up about the whole thing for a while, even had a slight anxiouty attack and had to sit down with my shirt off and the fan blowing on me because I was sweating so heavily.

I then called and begged my GF to come over and do it for me (yeah I pussed out) and she did even though it is late.

I just didnt want to leave the blood sitting in the pin overnight.
I was able to avoid putting the blood back in me by letting the pin sit with the needle pointing up and this caused the blood to set at the bottom and after about 30 mins or so it was pretty much permantly stuck there for some reason.

My Gf did the injection and all went well and I could see that she stopped before the blood which was cool also.

Now I got a slight needle phobia, hope it goes away by next inject since Ive never been afraid of them before.

I once pierced a vein in my thigh, though i dont think i injected in to it (when i didnt know what i was doing) I definitely felt strange afterwards ( it was test250 ) i felt like a damn animal lol it was intense

I did the same thing once and couldn't walk for nearly a week. I had a huge red spot (mayeb it was infected) on my leg.

Yes, hate it when I hit a nerve and the muscle twitches.

Blood is heavier than oil. To purge blood from the rig, hold it point-down and squirt it out. Then tip it up and change pins, try again. If any biological contaminants are in the syringe, even traces you can't see, as in when you aspirate blood and then purge it out, you want to shoot right away and not hold it for hours or a day.

If you are really noid, you can just toss the rig and the gear in it, you know. It isn't liquid gold or anything like that.

Hijack, but on-topic. Tonight I hit a major vein, outside quad, could tell right away after I broke the skin. I pulled out immediately and some major blood came out. Within 1 minute, the area was totally swollen. So, do I have a big ball of blood in my leg or what? I have injected myself daily for 120 days, never had this before.
Thanks,

Within 1 minute, the area was totally swollen, and still is 3 hours later. So, do I have a big ball of blood in my leg or what? I have injected myself daily for 120 days, never had this before.

Bro,

I did that in my Delt not long ago! It was swollen for about 8 hours or so. Not to worry....you will be fine! See I'm still alive to type this to you!
I'm feelin kinda good though, I just finished my last shot of Prop! I will be hitting PCT in a few days, but I'm not gonna miss the shots for a while.

because blod clots up and can cause some serious infections when its in the muscle.

When you aspirate (dude have you ever even done gear?) you DONT want to see blood. The reason why is because where your injecting there isnt any blood and there shouldnt be any, so putting blood where there shouldnt be any is gonna cause problems and infections.

I heard horror stories of hospital trips and getting cut open and blood clots removed that where infected.

Ever seen Requiem for a Dream? When you see the dude get his arm amputated the reason why is the answer to your question why it is bad.
