Somewhere you aren't.
Hello bluelighters, I have a problem. My usual areas to hit seem not to be working. That is the tops of my forearm, and the middle vein in me elbow.

I'm sure I have more in my elbow, but can't seem to find them. My arms look a complete mess, they are black and blue now from digging around.

Anyone with any advice would be much appreciated, I'm starting to get scared.

if you're getting desperate you can always try plugging. it'll at least ward off any w/ds.

I've tried that before and honestly got no effect, neither did my partner. I just managed to hit myself, Midway between the elbow and the wrist, but it wasn't a very good vein (Didn't seem it, I think it was very small) and it's going to bruise nasty there I can tell.

I managed to find it by lifting a dumbell for a few minutes, I am going to try again later to find more so I am ready for tommorow.
 
Anyone else with any advice?I'm looking at vein maps online, but can't seem to feel them in my arm( I have put on excess body fat due to a medical condition, hypogonadism).
 
I have found another vein, seems to be a good one, goes along my right forearm, mid way between the wrist and elbow, to the right. I can trace it along for a good few inches, I will try it tomorrow.I think it is the median/beginning of Radial vein looking at maps, or the smaller one to the side of the median.There aren't any arteries near the surface in that area is there?

It's really strange I can't find the cephalic in my right arm, I think I got the main part of the Median in the crook yesterday, couldnt get it again today though.
 
Dude you have way more veins than just your arms.. I haven't hit my arms in like 5 years. Try your hands there's veins that run down the side on of the back of your hand, like between your pointer finger and thumb. There's veins coming down in the top of your hand from each finger. There's veins on the sides of you wrists. There's veins all over your feet and ankles. Hell, I've hit the bottoms of my feet. You can hit veins in your upper thighs, stomach, I've hit my boobs before. There's alway your neck too, not that I reccomend it.

For hitting feet try walking around with shoes on for a little bit

Jump around, drink a lot of water, jump around some more. Make sure you're in a warm, well lit place, take your time, RELAX. Use a new shape needle. Ignore the maps, just tie off good and look and feel your body. You will be surprised that you have veins EVERYWHERE. They don't need to be "main " veins, or popping out of your skin. Any purple line is thicker than your needle and DOESN'T have a pulse. Just make sure you plunge slower when you use smaller veins.

If you get frustrated just muscle it. Stick your arm or thigh all the way and plunge. You won't get as good of a rush, but it's way better than plugging, you'll get all the dope in your blood stream, just not as quickly. Way better than missing tho.
 
When I'm having trouble hitting myself and I'm sick ill muscle my first shot so that I feel better, then my next shot, once I'm well, ill spend time digging around looking for a vein. I'm pretty sure bein sick also fucks w ur blood pressure and makes it harder to hit urself

Sorry, I should of said that the veins on the sides of my wrist have gone kaput, also on my hands (I have one left on my hand, also I can't really inject there as my family isn't aware, I wear long sleeves). I can't actually see any of my veins, never have been able too, even when I have a blood test they have trouble. I also have excess bodyfat due to hypogonadism (Just started treatment, so that should go away) Which I think makes it a bit harder to find.

I wish I could find a vein in the thigh really.

I will try jumping around though, get my blood pumping a bit. Me and my fiancee spent about an hour going over me earlier, and honestly we could only feel two veins. Two. (Apart from my feet, I really don't want to go there unless I have too). On my fiancee I can find veins everywhere, shes so easy to hit it makes me jealous.
 
Is the intramuscular route not an option?

I used to IM shots all the time whenever I couldn't find a vein. Obviously, aseptic technique as much as is possible in these situations should be practiced. Chlorine bleach is a needle user's dream in my opinion. Spoon, Arm, Surface, Tourniquet, Syringe (barrel and needle) why the hell not?

I'm in the UK, so have to add an acid to my brown, don't know how much damage that will cause IM if im honest.
 
My boyfriend shot up in his penis a few times, and it was okay a few times.. Then one time his dick swole up sooo bad it got all fat and red and purple and blue and looked a lot like a turtle. He went straight to the ER, And we both spent about 12 hours thinking we could never have sex again. So I wouldn't really reccomend trying that if you can help it
