The injection isn't that bad.  Just bunch up some skin, put the injector up tight against it and push the plunger.  It's a little awkward but you get used to it.
 
On the O2 front, make sure you read through the supplemental guide to O2 on the OUCH-US site.  It will save you a lot of wasted time.

Good luck with the new weapons.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! I absolutely despise needles of any sort, get weak kneed when I get shots at the docotr, but the auto injector doesn't bother me at all. You never see the needle and the prick is almost un noticeable! Wink

Hi Peeps,  
 
Ive not started 02 or imigran yet as ive not had anything more than a 3-4 on the kip scale and feel it would be a waste especially as i feel my cycle is ending. Instead i tried what many of you have suggested an Energy drink (red bull), i found it seemed to work but later that night i was woken by a kip3-4 only for it to fade as quickly as i woke.  
I will try this again to see if it was coincidence or if it was the Red bull. Please reply with your energy drink experiences

Simon if you follow the same pattern you'll be okay - get on it at first sign of madness. The longer you delay the loner it will take to abort - simple (Simon!) as that  Smiley

After a couple of days i can confirm OXYGEN RULES OK!!!
 
I have had a few heads start but OXYGEN kicks the beast into touch before it get uncomfortable even if i wake in the middle of the night i just blast it with OXYGEN for 15-20mins as most suggest and its gone and im back to sleep in 5!!!
 
Still not used my injector (thankfully) but all seem to need right now is OXYGEN YEAH BABY!!! Smiley

That's awesome news on the O2 front.  Happy it works for you.  Hopefully you'll be able to keep that injector on the shelf.

Now you see why we "oxygen pushers" are so insistent.
 
Having something in your arsenal that you KNOW is going to work most of the time is very empowering.  Beats the hell out of crawling, pounding, wailing and the fear of the next one.
 
Now we'll expect you to browbeat a few newbies who may be reluctant to try 02.

For sure Oxygen is the future!! lol
Anyone suffering should try OXYGEN before taking a cocktail of drugs as OXYGEN has no side effects and i have a portable one for work just in case meaning i wont have to come home and deal with being drugged just sup on the OXYGEN for 15mins and back to work pain free!! (g-d damn it lol)
 
ANYONE READING THIS AND HASNT AS YET TRIED OXYGEN GO TRY IT ASAP IT MAY HELP!!!! Wink
 
This was a publice service announcment for 02 lol!!! Grin
