 :rofl;  :rofl;  :rofl;

It's that time of the week again. Got my eprex out.

I started PD not too long ago and I must say..the absolute worse thing I still never got used to are those weekly needles :(

I've been innoculating my tummy ever since the nurse said it should be less painful there. Still painful to me. If I get lucky.. there is no bleeding.. however I had a few times where I popped a vessel.

So I'm thinking of switching positions.. maybe the thigh? I dont know. Where you do guys jab yourself?  :P

I use my thigh.  If I take a large pinch of ?muscle? and go for it I really don't feel it at all.  I don't think I could use my stomach because I wear progressive lenses, and I'd need a swan's neck to see what I was doing
