i was never introduced to the joys of stinging alcohol wipes before shots so i never used them. do you have any scarring/thickened tissues from using them?
Sharon, are you on any meds. that cause bruising?
Do you watch to make sure you're not injecting
close to a vein? Sorry for asking but I don't understand
how some People who do MDI are bruising so much. I
know when I was on a certain med. for RA, I was
bruising alot and most areas were not injection sites.
That was a bad sign so I had to go off of that drug. Just
wondering.
