Running out of veins

[Bomboclat]

have you tried your bum?

i hear about people using the kneck ,and from when i saw somone hit there kneck wouldnt that result in an artery hit? i mean couldnt you hit the jugular by accident

we should just concentrate on the bodybuilder cause everyone can find SOMTHING to use a a "dumbell" or do pushups ,the more you strain the more oxygen is needed to keep your muscle growing now what brings this oxygen to the muscle .....veins yea (good job) ...the more of a PUMP you get the more your veins are being "stretched" ,under constant stress the veins will get larger and the mucle firmer pushing the vein(s) outward

Just for reference, veins don't carry anything TO the muscle. They carry DE-oxygenated blood AWAY from the tissues back to the heart and lungs to be oxygenated and recirculated. As mentioned by another poster, the jugular is a vein.

There is some good advice in your post, among a lot of physiological falacies. The jist is this: veins do heal (slowly) with time and healthy activity, however the scar tissue from a lot of injections makes them rough and hard to hit. The more you pop in one spot the harder it'll get to do, and plenty of irreversible damage can be (in the OP's case, likely has been) done. It is critical to cycle injection spots and allow time for the blood vessels to heal properly.

Please do not shoot into your neck; it just isn't smart. With good technique blood vessels handle regular injections just fine.

Also, up to a gallon of water a day is generally okay/healthy if you're working and perspiring a lot. Water toxicity can happen, but only when inane amounts are consumed.

The OP may find an Anatomy and Physiology text at his local college library very helpful.

I hope I have the strength and will to quit before it comes to the point that I start eye-balling my neck.

I understand there is a nerve bundle you risk hitting which could result in paralysis if you inject in your neck... not to mention the risk of a fatal or maiming infection in such a vital area. It leaves no room for error.

Two years and I fortunately still have lots of potential in my forearms.

You need to learn how to hit skin veins (the tiny ones that are not much bigger than the width of your needle -- use a 32+ gauge). My neck veins went out about 8 months ago (the big ones, i dont hit the neck skin veins because bruises on your neck are supersketchy) and since then i've been using skin veins (mostly on thighs/hips/outside of lower leg, back of knee has tons, etc) and occasionally the main veins (close to my armpit) because they've come back from not using them for so long.

EDIT: Also, despite what a lot of previous posters have said, there are neck veins (particularly towards your back, very difficult to hit) that are not near arteries, and you can hit the veins near corotid/jugular arteries by keeping the needle at a sharp upward/outward angle so even if you hand spasms for some reason, you'll just be poking out skin away from the artery. And don't both with the femoral if you can't hit skin veins, not worth the risk. Also, i would start making sure you don't go through the other side / ruining veins by a lot of movement / tearing; those veins you have left are precious. Check your outer leg for good skin veins, as well as the outside of your arms (i.e. when you stand at attention, arms at side, the veins running up and down in the outer layers of sin).

Another note: I used up my neck veins some time ago, but i still hold a full time job and attend college. In fact, I'm going on a ski vacation i've been saving for up to killington, (costs: $600 of excellent tizar & $400 airfare both ways, $300 for a 6 day lift ticket, and my portion of room fees is $400). I'm pretty proud of myself. It'll be the first vacation i haven't gotten sick on in a long time, and i'll have my usual 2 3-ball shots every day. For conversion, excellent dime bags from 4th & patterson in NY convert 3 NY's to 1 Columbus $20 ball (SWIM pays $14)

thanks for the unjudgemental advice....I'm glad you said this about the smaller veins. The night I posted this I actually never was able to find any of the veins everyone else had mentioned. I did get to use one on the inside of my lower leg from the knee down on the right leg, but it's not working now. The next night I started searching for the same vein on the other leg but was unsuccessful..almost got it but it fucked up made a huge bruise and I moved on to other places. Thats when I noticed the veins that vein across the tops of my thighs. I was sitting on the sink in the bathroom for the light and my feet were in the sink. I was seriously considering my neck again but then noticed my thighs. I tried several times to hit them and was unsuccessful and just when I was about to give up I registered blood. They are alot different to hit...you really dont go in at an angle it's more like you are running with the skin almost like you might poke the needle out again...but I figured it out. They don't all work very well but I did it. I also saw the ones in my arms but wasn't able to get them they seemed like they would be more difficult bc of the position I would have to be in to hold the needle and pull back and all that shit. But anyways...thanks for the advice to all of you.

Was wondering though...how long of a needle do I need to hit that one near the hip..or do I need to try to hit it the way I hit the ones in my theighs.....?

more on acids for veincare

If you are using IV Fentanyl every day then that should be a sign to you that you need to quit using. You really can't have a more obvious sign that you are addicted than running out of veins because you shoot up so fucking much. Get some help man. I'm not trying to sound preachy, I'm an addict myself.

You know that vinegar and lemon juice aren't actually acids right? I know they contain acids but I was just making sure that you know or other people know that they are nothing but acid. I know it's common sense but some people seem to lack that.

yeah, Veincare guides often talk about them as acids but ur rite - they contain acids, and the weaker is the better for veins as its more gentle - so vit c and citric are more gentle on the veins than vinegar, but use as little as possible to dissolve ur stuff coz the acids within the above can cause chemical burns, tissue damage + increase the risk of infections at the injecting site - Especially wen too much is used - add the acid a little at a time until the drug has dissolved - once the eg heroin or crack has bound with the acid and dissolved into the water, extra acid will only make the solution more caustic ie burning for the veins

Lift weights and you'll discover millions of big veins you never realised you had. Also get 100 pack of ph testing strips, be a good idea to gauge how much acid you need.

I know that in the hospital they always give the patient IV drugs when possible but I doubt they would ever shoot anything in someone's neck.

I had an IV in my jugular after overdosing along with two IV's in each arm. So, hospitals do use the jugular for IV drugs.

There are a couple of good ones behind your knee - But please stay away from the neck thats some hectic shit...Good luck with everything and be careful!

no matter how many veins you fuck up there are more ,not saying you SHOULD try and fuck them all up

but my veins have suffered greatly from IV methadone ...and as soon as i got back into bodybuilding and forced alot of bloodflow/oxygen through my veins i got a few that popped right out of nowhere plus i only iv once a week now so the veins i thought were gone have started to showback up

start doing HEAVY curls and forearm work do you forearms every night...get you a squezer you just squeze it ,i did that one time for almost a week everyday all day long when i didnt need my hands for 5-10min and witin a week i had a couple good ones pop out

im sure if i ever get back into bodybuilding again ill get most of my veins back

Hello hydro,

I was methadone for about 3 yrs and tapered from 175mg-20mg in 3 weeks. Pure hell, I would much rather suffer smack sickness than that.

I was wondering what kind of effect, or euphoria you recieved from iv methadone?

I was taking that nasty cherry liquid shit. I tried to bang IT one time and got nada.

Also, what is your overall thoughts on it?

 

[HYDRO_CHRONIC]

i regret it it ,cause my veins have gone through hell ,but it got me high quicker and "well" quicker IV

biut it loses its magic like always ,theres a RUSH AND ALL ,but it no heroin
