Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I gave myself my first low dose Estradiol Valerate today in the vastus lateralus, and I noticed that as soon as the injection was finished and I pulled out, I felt a slight head rush that lasted less than a minute. Everything went as it was supposed to, aspiration, placement etc., so what I'm thinking is that it was one of two things: because it was my first one at my home I probably built up a bit of mental hype about the whole matter and it was just adreneline. Second, many many years ago in my using life I used meth constantly by way of syringe, so it may have just been that playing out of the mental scenario my brain was expecting. Once it was over I never felt anything again, so I dont believe that it could have been placed in between muscles. I had settled on the 23g x 1" and my legs are kind of skinny so there is no doubt all went welll. Just curious, thanks. Dani
I've been getting injections in my butt for the last 3-4 months, EV as well and never experienced this. Maybe as you said, it's all in the head. :)
I use the thigh and have never had this except for the first time. It was so excited I could have won the Boston Marathon. As long as there was no return into the syringe you should be just fine Sis. Enjoy the ride!!! :)
Thanks, I do believe it was in my head, I had built up so much focus around that one event that it was mostly the adreneline and partly the other. ::) Dani
P.S. Please read my new post in coming out, cool news.
Just got off the phone with my nurse and she confirmed that all is well. Yesterday I was left to only knocking around in my own head as I was past office hours, so thanks to the help I got from here :) Dani
