For the Record

Lovenox needles are just as crappy as Fragmin ones.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

  1. Yech. Sorry to hear that! I mean, I haven't done the fragmin, so have no reference, but I was hoping SOMETHING would be easier for you this time...

  2. Aren't they, though? I swear they grind the point OFF those needles before they pack them up. Unreal.

  3. If you google lovenox and dull needles, you'll find many similar anecdotes...

    I will say that shots 2 and 3 weren't as bad (different angle?). And for whatever reason I'm not brusing at all. I'll take whatever small blessings I can get.

    If it weren't for the more substantial risk of osteoporosis, I'd ask my RE to put me back on plain old generic heparin, with insulin needles. I can't believe she talked this one up as "it's so easy...it's in a prefilled syringe and you only need to use it once a day!" Gah.
