**guest589745** · 03-28-2006, 06:24 AM

Yea ok, Im bein a lil bitch I know. I just cant bring myself to do it! Its like my body is sayin "Hey, what the hell are you doin? Thats a needle!" Anyone got some pointers for pokin yerself?

**biganfg** · 03-28-2006, 06:30 AM

Think of a happy place when u do it, that's what i did the first time and second time after that i don't care. The only thing with me is i like to take my time when sticking the needle in, so i can feel if i am poking it into a vein or nerve, i know u probably wont b able to tell untill it is too late, i guess its a superstitious thing.

i think the easiest place to shoot yourself is you quads. use a 1 inch 25 guage needle and you will feel nothing just remember to clean the area well and take your time. once you've done 1 yourself you will realise how asy it is.
Good luck bro.

**Pooks** · 03-28-2006, 06:30 AM

telll your body to shut it... and tell it "this is the stuff of champions"

**thunderdan** · 03-28-2006, 06:34 AM

The first time is the hardest, then you realize it is no big deal. I always do glutes. Its hard to twist back but not to bad. You will come to enjoy it, believe me.

I used to have someone shoot me and had to start doing it myself. I hate needles by the way.

I decided to do quads. I sat in a chair and put my leg up on the desk. Then I found the spot I wanted to inject and swabbed it down. Then I got the syringe and I just rested the end of the needle on the spot I was injecting. The needle just started to go in on it's own just from the weight of the syringe. I was like wow, this is easy. I let it go the whole way in, asperated, then pushed the plunger down nice and steady. Nothing to it. I was amazed how easy the pin went in.

I used a 25guage, 1" pin by the way. Good luck.

It is not so bad...pain is not an issue...I would suggest glutes though, you don't want the uncontrollable shaking quad after a nerve hit. And above all, be sterile and steady, and go slow.

FWIW, I do the standing twist with most of my weight on the opposite side of the glute that I am shooting. Never a problem.

Dont Do It Bro!! Dont Inject Yourself!!!!!!! Once U Go U Can Never Go Back! Think Of The Children!

**MAXIMA5** · 03-28-2006, 08:14 AM

The first stick is scary, but after you'll be looking forward to doing your next shot.
Picture yourself getting bigger and shredded while you inject, and you'll have positive associations with the process.

The only one I even get nervous on is my left quad. And thats because for some reason I hit a vein 50% of the time. I have changed spots 3 times, but hell just do it.

**monstermasss** · 03-28-2006, 08:30 PM

U Do It Yet?
( I was never able to learn to headdive into water, so i guess we all our lil phobias n stuff, but this is getting ridicoulous now! ) LOL

**grasshoppa** · 03-28-2006, 11:19 PM

I am new at this too. It's not really bad at all.

The most important thing I learned was to aspirate . When you put the needle in pull out on the plunger!! and make certain that you don't see blood in the syringe. If you do you hit a vein or blood vessel take the needle out, squeeze out the blood, change the pin and try again. Had I not have known that going in I would have injected into a vessel. Also inject in the upper outer quadrent if you go for the glute, there are less blood vessels there. I even got confortable later on and wasn't going to, but aspirated anyway and sure enough.....good that I did.

I followed the instruction to the glute injection method I found on a site, and followed them exactly. I still get nervous a little, and have even had to take three stabbs at it for one dose. Twice in the cycle...the nervousness quickly turned to frustration...then anger...then I began throwing darts.

The best advise would be to learn all you need to know before doing it. Cleanliness is also a must. Be steril, lots of alchohol.

Good Luck
