I wasn't sure which board to post this on, because it's related to an injectable supplement called CALM, a water based mix of four components like magnesium, etc, which Defy/Empower sell.
I had used a .5ml syringe to inject this supplement and it didn't have any effect. I needed to go up to 1ml and only had my old 23 gauge harpoon needles and syringes that were originally prescribes my first time around. The needle looked huge, but I confidently plunged it into my thigh. Then came the pain. I suddenly remembered what it was like to get a shot as a kid with those old-fashioned huge, blunt needles. Then a section of my quad felt like it was cramped. Then I had a prickly feeling in both my feet and forehead. Then that spread to my lower legs and arms. I was thinking how I might now be a believer in acupuncture, which turned to thoughts of having to call an ambulance.
It eventually subsided. I felt the opposite of CALM. I wonder if I injected too much towards the middle of my thigh, as in not enough to the side, but it was higher up toward my hip. I've done T injections in my thigh with a 30 gauge and felt absolutely nothing. Has anyone had this happen? I'm afraid to do this again now. I don't want to buy new needles just for 8 more injections. I now see this as a funny story, so I don't mind however you'd like to comment on it.
