I called Shared Solutions and reported the batch, and asked for all the needles to be replaced.


LOT NUMBER 538676 EXP 10/2009


Just a heads up if any of you have this batch number.

Anyone else get that intense sting WHILE injecting? It was surprising at how intense the sting was. I have a fresh months supply at the ready, so I am always good to go. They were very nice, and will send a new supply in 48 hours.

Whew! I need a nap. I am not a whiner, so this was big for me.
are you using the autoject, or injecting manually?

I've been having problems with getting dull needles, and that was the big reason I switched to manual injections. (dull needles really hurt when getting forced into the skin by an autoject)

I really hate the dull needles. I need to give myself a shot now, I forgot last night. (been doing that a lot lately)

I have been a manual injector for some time now. it made a huge difference in the lumps/stings. The AI is so violent. I would never be able to go back to it.

I didnt have the IPIR. I just had the bad sting and mind blowing hour dance of wimpers.

My dad gave me my injections over the weekend. (giving the other sites a break, dad does the ones I cant reach)

The needle on friday was soooo dull! It hurt so bad when started the injection. Like he just shoved a pencil into my arm. I about jerked away (didnt, that would have hurt more)

The next night, didnt even feel the needle go in. When I get painful injections tho, I always look at the needle, and it looked dull. The one from the painless injection had a nice sharp looking point on it.

There are times that I want to change to a new drug, just because Teva seems to have problems with the quality control on their needles.
