At 12:30 today I was hit with a huge CH at work. luckly i was alone. The pain quickly grew to an 8 - 9 on the scale.(maybe some peoples 10, but i never pass out from them)
I knew I had to do something and didn't want the nose spray because of the taste in leaves after and i was planning on having lunch soon...so i decided to try a shot. i have been carring around the injections for months always afraid to use it..until today.
I really don't know what was worse...the CH or what the meds did to me. I immediately became nausious, couldn't keep my eyes open (not like when you are sleepy) had trouble moving my right arm or think straight. all i could do was sit there and hope it would pass.
Finally around 1:45 it started to wear off.
i had read DJ's message about taking 1/3rd the dose, but that was just to make the meds last longer not because it was too strong.
i don't think i could ever get myself to use the injection again.
