Hi, all! I know I will get a stern lecture or even flamed for this, but I like to crush my pills and inject them Intramuscularly. I know this can cause an infected abscess, but it has not yet. (I am knocking on wood.)
First of all, am I the only one who does this on a regular basis? I do it exclusively. And I shoot probably 2 or 3 times a day every day.
I like it better for the following reasons:
1. I could NEVER find a vein. I would spend 30 or 45 minutes trying to find one and then end up missing anyway.
2. This was causing weird looks as I spent too much time in the bathroom (I live with family that don't know what I do.)
3. Also, The track marks were terrible, and I would have to wear long sleaves even in warm weather.
4. I love being able to shoot IM, and then have a few minutes to clean up the mess and put away all the stuff and then go and get comfortable and wait for the feeling to set in.
NEXT
Here is my process. Maybe you experienced members can look at it and tell me if my method is conducive to harm reduction, or if I'm STILL going to probably get an abscess. Thanks.
1. I crush enough pills to last 10 doses in a small glass bowl with a ceramic pestle. Both the bowl and pestle have been boiled in water right before I begin this process.
2. After pills are crushed, I use a clean sterile 15 or 20 cc syringe and large gauge leur-lock needle to add 11 cc's sterile bacteriostatic water (I wipe the top of the vile with an alcohol wipe first) to the glass bowl. I dispose of the needle and the syringe.
3. I let the pills completely dissolve for about 10 minutes.
4. I then use a new sterile syringe and needle along with micron filter to filter the solution. As I am filtering it, I squirt it into a sterile glass vial with aluminum and rubber seal. Just like the kind you would find morphine in. So then I have a vile of sterile, particle free solution that lasts me 10 doses.
Does that sound to anyone like it will keep the abscesses away?
Any thoughts? If your thoughts are "stop IMing" You can tell me that too, but please be nice!! Thanks.
