I've had luck getting veins on the inside of my bicep, by the armpit, when all others were failing me. There are some pretty fat ones up there but they are deep, so you almost have to go straight in with the rig to reach them. It's a very painful spot to IV, but there are good veins there. How about your neck? It should be a last resort, but clearly you are nearing that juncture. I have a friend, an old time dope fiend who has been using for 30+ years and he now exclusively uses his neck. Downside is you need to be in front of a mirror to do it. Both of these spots aren't by any means pleasant to fix in, but if you're like me and the friends I've had throughout the years..you're either gonna get clean or start popping off in your throat. It's clearly more dangerous, that is implied when sticking needles in your neck. The HR in me will tell you to just get clean or take a break while your veins heal and then be very careful and use proper technique when starting up again so you don't trash the veins so fast. But the junkie in me says, neck, armpits. Whatever it takes to chase the rush right? Now you know why they call it a disease. We're fucked up in the head.
Mr Scagnattie,a good Tip with the
Armpit,i would really advise not to use
the Neck,you need those to live,cant amputate
Neck,although i had it done twice but she was
Ex-nurse.You can go lower on the arm,basically
see to stay below biceps,go in straight like groin(see
Neck,DONT),i used 12mm,30g.needle i had to order.
But be carefull cause u cant see anything so Its a blind shot.vein is fat,really fat,but nerve and artery right next.
I was SOO happy when i found that gusher that i even posted it,but after x hits i hit artery,plunger came right back but half ml was already in(arm immediately UP if
that happens,keeps swelling down a bit)and once the nerve,that hurt.If you Do try,you might have to push whole
Needle in and even press in a bit,dark blood should register immediately.if it doesnt,DONT root around,pull out and go again,slightly up/down.You get a feeling for it.
But despite NO veins,i use that only as emergency after
that artery hit,artery hits freak me out.
Please dont get desperate and go groin,sum
WILL say it works perfekt for them for years,but
ive known quite a few of those and sum are
missing a leg now,its a timebomb.ive
had docs not being able to hit me but
refuse the groin,even with ultrasound in
Hospital.Stay safe and good luck.i can feel you,
after years or decades of IV there is no going back,
I tried,really hard,to switch to smoking.its a grand waste
i Couldnt keep wasting my dope but am sure there are a
few people who have mastered that technique,i envy them.
