hi guys, cant say much right now im in to much pain trying to pluck up the courage to take a 2nd dose of imigran , it hurt like hell the first time and was quite a shock used thigh ,anywhere eles not so painfull ???

thanks for reply  still aint done it,im such a wimp!!  as its 3 a/m here i didnt think anyone would be around  having a strong coffee as i read on here it can help,so strong its boiling and i burnt my tounge ! 

Belly for stat dose pens! Those bastards leave a knot in my thigh or arm.  I use 30 gauge needles because i get my meds n vials, so for me..its no longer a prob. I generally use half a dose as well. (but for some stupid reason i took a whole pill at bedtime the other day. dunno wtf i did that? but ill have to say it did take care of the shadows and no hits that night  )

Which hurts less? A jab in the belly fat or your head?

I have to agree with Brew. Once it passes Kip 5 I could not care less what is happening to the rest of my body.

As a kid I had to go through two bone marrow biopsies. One from sternum and one from hip. The trocar (needle) was about 1/8 inch in diameter and it had to be pushed through the bone! No anaesthesia. I still remember the startled look on that surgeon's face. He could not believe a 9 year old boy refused to shed a single tear, let alone cry. For me it was a matter of pride. Brave boys never cry.

Nowadays when Kip 9 strikes the third time in 6 hours I cannot control myself any more. I scream and cry even in front of my 12 y/o daughter. I would give anything to avoid her witnessing it but the level of pain intensity is just too much.

I am sorry if I sound like ranting. We are here to help each other. The belly trick is actually good advice. My point is that in comparison to the 5 minutes of dancing with the beast I would take 1000X stronger jab than imitrex injection if it brings relief.
