    Ok so yesterday i had my 2nd shot, it was very painfull on the way in not sure if i mite have nicked a vein, i aspirated and there was no blood, when i removed the pin some blood came out of the injection site, i swabbed it will an alcohol pad, i also felt a bit light headed and felt like i wanted to throw up, i'm not sure but i have narrowed the pain down to a few things,
    i injected on the weeker leg, (i couldn't feel a thing on my 1st shot on the other leg)
    i did legs in the gym before i injected,
    the pin wasnt properly lubricated with the oil
    Just a question for the experienced, was anyone ever afraid of injecting themselves? did you get over it and how long did it take to get used to it?
    i want to inject myself but i realised i cant look at the injection without feeling lightheaded, yesterdays pain while going in put me off injecting myself, not that i cant handle the pain...

    as far as the pain on the way in....what guage pin are you injecting with? let the alcohol dry before pinning and i use a a different pin for injecting then what i used to draw with. blood came out of the injection site because you just poked a hole in yourself...as long as there was no blood when you aspirated it is fine. the lightheadedness was probably from you holding your breath. make sure you breathe. i usually make it a point to train the muscle i pinned after injecting. youll get over your nervousness in no time. it will become routine and youll get better as you go.
