Please let me preface this with, I Am Not Using Suboxone Via IV Injections For a High, Rush, Or Other Reason --- Other than, one strip will last me 4 days and sometimes longer, by cutting it into between 16 and 24 small pieces. I'm UNABLE to afford filtering items, let alone new diabetic needle. (I do keep them as sterilized as I can with rubbing alcohol and subsequent bleach+water solution, before repeatedly flushing and cleaning syringe of alcohol/bleach.
Recycling needles that only I use, and sterilize as best I can, I injected sub strip pieces in water (typically dissolving them in syringe, by shaking syringe) into every vein I possibly could find! You can now barely see ANY veins, except the thinnest and smallest, through my skin.
Two weeks ago I began IV'ing in the RIGHT wrist, exactly where you can feel a pulse. I KNOW THIS IS NOT ADVISABLE. It was the only place I could reliably hit. Five days ago I awoke and my hand, but not wrist, was swollen and all my knuckles on that hand felt like is developed severe arthritis overnight! Three days ago, "red dots" and a flushed color appeared around thumb and backside of palm, but knuckles were no longer tense, and Manny hands feels "hot".
No where else on my body is here swelling, red dots, etc. Just "below injection site, on back of hand and thumb. Tonight, I've got a fever ranging between 101.3 and 101.8. 8 saw on a few medical sites that a common diagnostic tool used, to determine sepsis using the red dots...place a clear glass over three doors and press firmly. If the skin AND dots blanch and dots disappear, it's unlikely sepsis or similar. But if they DON'T disappear, that COULD BE a sign of sepsis. I've tried that glad on skin, and it APPEARS they lose redness yet some seem to just lighten -- like maybe they go deeper into the skin, and not just on the surface.
I'm really concerned it may be a blood infection. But I also don't want to open the barn door to others knowing my IV drug use.
I took photos, but didn't post them because they'd first have to be published online, then a link to show them here. I don't have a way to do this other than Google drive or Google photos, and I don't want to link my email/identity in any way to the pics.
I did find online a pic VERY CLOSE to what my hand looks like, though my red dots aren't as stark red. paler red I guess, as my entire hand is a little red, possibly diminishing the contrast. Here's that photo I found...
ANY KNOWLEDGE someone can share, I'd he most appreciative. I want to do all within my power to prevent an ER trip or being hospitalized! And though I'm no hypochondriac, and much more likely to dismiss physical symptoms, I almost feel everything I've find online days HELP MEDICAL HELP NOW. But as with most people, it's ready to merge separate symptoms into a self-diagnosis, that actually are not related at all.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts, wisdom, and insight. PLEASE DON'T jump my case about what I should be doing, how to do it right, or other blame the user, who already knows what's "right" but can't AFFORD to do it right. You can't imagine what I'd give to be able to afford Suboxone through doctors and pharmacies!!

How did I begin to use Suboxone, and now IV administering it? A brief exclamation...
I had a horrible car accident 3 years ago, and had multiple broken bones, slipped disks, and chronic nerve pain. I got superior medical care and physical rehabilitation. But from immediately after the abhorrent, when I was admitted to the ER, until year 2 after the accident, I was prescribed increasingly strong doses of hydrocodone and Oxy, by my orthopedist, and pain management doctor.
BOTH OF MY DOCTORS were targeted, almost simultaneously, by the state medical board and DEA for over prescribing narcotics. In a span of TWO WEEKS, I went from huge doses, to NO NARCOTICS being prescribed. Thankfully, I wasn't in physical pain, from the accident, though didn't know I had healed so well, because of the meds!
Withdrawals were intolerable and I immediately began going to a doctor who prescribed Suboxone. He was shocked at how irresponsible my doctors had been towards my withdrawal and life threatening detox in such a small weaning off time line.
Month after month I went to this Suboxone doctor, taking 8mg strips three times daily. After nine months the prescription and doctor visit cost ($375.00 per visit, not including lab costs) - with little income and paying cash for medical visits and prescriptions due to having no insurance, I had to find a cheaper way. I fought hard to not use narcotics, and succeeded, by buying strips from others, weaning myself down to 2 strips daily. But soon I couldn't afford that either, not with "street prices".
I'd heard of people injecting subs, but had NEVER used needles, at all. Read a lot of info on this site, and some other sites, though none as extensive and informative as Bluelight.
Desperate, and with no possible way to financially afford Suboxone via a doctor and pharmacy...I began to shoot it, in little pieces of strips, and only dosing when I felt the sub wear off...stretching the strip as free as possible, without withdrawals and discomfort. I CAN TELL YOU that I've never experienced a High, Rush, or "positive feeling" from injecting. Just a quick resolving of withdrawals and unwell febelongs. Why anyone would use it recreationally or find it fun, I don't know. It's not been my experience.
Now, I've destroyed most veins in arms, legs, feet, etc. How a nurse would ever find a vein to start a saline drip I don't know.
