Weird Injection Rituals

archive_Caligula · 11-10-2003, 03:16 PM

Does anyone on here have any weird injection rituals they follow? I know I do.

I hate quad shots, they almost always burn right at first and are hard as hell to inject into. So one day before I injected I was acting silly and started breathing like those women in lamaz (sp?) classes. I was shocked because it actually really took my mind off of it and made it much easier. So now I always do that during my shots. My girlfriend looks at me like I'm a complete psycho but it works. So does anyone else have any weird injection rituals?

I have kind of a new one. When the nurse was electrocuting me during my EMG for my neck she said, make a fist with each hand and squeeze one and then the other and concentrate on it.
So now whenever I am getting a glute shot with a 1 1/2 3cc I do that. I put my hand in front of me and make two fists and alternate squeezing them, sometimes to the beat of a song and I don't hardly notice the shot I am getting.
When I do my own I have no such tricks since it take two hands for me to do the shot, because I hold the barrel still with one while using the plunger with the other.

Oh yeah, that's a good one. I had a nurse tell me a similar thing. Her method is; touch your forefinger to your thumb like an OK sign. Instead of pushing your two fingers together flesh on flesh you push your thumbnail into your forefinger and press hard. It causes just enough pain that you can concentrate on it.

Of course my favorite, when you are giving someone else a shot is to tell them you're going to count to three, and then jab on two or even on one. Their tension builds waiting on you to say three, but instead you hit them with 1 (jab)

I like to watch my skin bend until it breaks and swallows the needle. Then I savor the "splinter" feeling of the foreign object beneath my skin.

Sorry but your coping methods are for sissies

You know...I'm sure you could find a forum out there for masochists too.

Mr Nobody,

I am with you. I just slowly push it in, sometime hearing the crunch of scar tissue.

Actually, I put on my rhino skin G-string with complete with ceremonial horn and do a little dance and sing praise to the fina Gods before injecting.

LOL exactly.

i used to have "methods", but now i just do it as quickly as possible so that the molecules can start doing their thing.

Oh, actually the one ritual i do still have is rubbing the injection site until it's not bleeding. I wanna make sure none of that precious juice comes wandering out of the injection hole!

I've never had to inject myself but in nursing school I was terrified the first time I had to give an injection. I was shaking so hard. Thankfully the client was blind and didn't see me looking like I was going to wet my pants. Now I've given so many injections I have total faith that I'd be excellent at giving them to myself.

I have to do it one handed, in the glute. I take a deep breath. I just jab it in, hold the barrel with a finger & thumb, aspirate with 2 fingers, then switch to a finger or thumb to plunge.. Never tried quad shots.

As somebody who's drawn 750+ doses per week for the last four years, I must say that you guys work too hard in manipulating your syringes

I'll completely admit to one time giving a sub-cu and I sort of zoned out and forgot that I had a needle in someone and needed to pull it right back out. I seriously blame that on the fact that 95% of the injections I give are insulin and you keep the needle in for a while. Anyhow, I felt horrible and yanked it back out but I felt bad. I know a sub-c isn't as bad as an AM but I try to do a good job.

Lord knows the injection nurse at the dr's office is 100 times better than your GP's nurse.
