Hello,
My name is Joe Palmer, and I've been using Fuzeon since December
2005, and diabetic for going on six years. I tried using the awful
torture devices supplied with the kit, but gave up. Someone from the
PozHealth list suggested using diabetic syringes to me. I tried
using a 1/2 cc syringe and it worked fine except it didn't contain
the full dose. I told my doctor about this, and he prescribed 31
gauge 1 CC syringe.

The higher the number, the thinner the needle is. The supplied
syringes are 25 or 27 gauge.

There may be 2CC diabetic syringes, too, that make pushing down the
plunger a little less awkward.

The point is, there are much less painful options. Talk to your
doctor and best wishes!

Joe

Good luck on starting the Fuzeon. I have been on it for 3 years and
never thought I would be able to use the needles but everything has
worked out okay. I do not use the needles that come in the kit for
injections I buy a thinner needle from walgreens that works much
better. gary
