If pain from the injection volume becomes an issue, I could see how EO would have an advantage over oil, since you don't need as much for a given solvent effect. Otherwise, I still don't see an advantage.

Why's that? Are you talking about getting the gear to dissolve? Or are you saying that EO is bactericidial and that it can act as a substitute for BA?

You should not use the same needle twice. The issues with using the same needle are contamination of your vial and increased discomfort from the used needle. That said you can reuse the syringe it is the needle that would be replaced in a perfect world. My best advice has always been to read about syringes and needles and decide for yourself what your comfort level is. For me I always change the needle and syringe just because they are so cheap why have a problem that could have been solved for about 25 cents.

Best of luck,

Hi...I am very much afraid of injection and it's pain. I mostly adopt to ice rubbing on the injection spot after having an injection. You post is very useful and informative too. your reasons for pain are awesome. Up to now i used to think the injecting person is the only reason for pain. now on wards I will change my opinion. Thank for posting.
