Great Post bro, and yes I remember it well, I think that was the one that really got me to taking it seriously. That is Eliteboard at its BEST!! One bro helping another.
Fortunately, I have insurance.
It still cost me over $1500 in copays for RX, 3 surgeries, ongoing visits (once a week to the surgeon, and once a week to the Infectous Disease doctor)
I have a nurse that comes to house once a day, used to be twice. There is no way you can do it yourself and she is $70 a pop.
So all told out of pocket has to be at least 4-5k. The insurance has paid at least 15k.

Be clean brothers, take it seriously.

God Bless,

Day-um!!! that would be $20K in medical bills for the less fortunate guys w/o insurance!!!! That's about 50 kits of GH!!! Likely the cause of not using a new .50 needle each time. How'd the folks/friends react to your juice related ailment???

I draw and shoot with the same pin, different pin every inject though.

That's fine-but penetrating the stopper still dulls the needle somewhat. I just read on another thread how someone leaves his pin in the stopper, fills the plunger, then unscrews it and puts a fresh dart on it before injecting himself. Then rescrews a new plunger onto the pin that's in the stopper. I think this is a great idea because you're only penetrating the bottle once instead of over and over.

Chistianlifter, speedy recovery to you.

I use a fresh everyting every inject. Multidose vial stoppers are designed to be penetrated over & over. Just clean the stopper with alchohol before & after sticking in the pin.

Sorry to hear this Bro. Your post should serve as a reminder to everyone to be careful. You are injecting a foreign substance into your body. To most of us that have been doing this for a long time it becomes so routine that sometimes we may forget to take certain safety precautions or just get in a hurry and don’t care. I'm guilty of this from time to time myself. It’s too late when they're digging into your muscle. Hopefully your story will spare someone else the hardship that you are going through. Hope you have a healthy recovery, and God bless.

Bro, I hate to ask this but I think it might drive home the point and keep everyone on track........"Do you have pictures"?
