With the issue of only having about 4/5cm of one useful vein I gotta look after the area like it was the queen's favourite rose bush and I'm the gardener. Weird analogies aside, what's the best way to treat a missed shot to clear the lump away so that I have clear runway to use without having to dodge and weave in the following days? I've only missed about 3 times in the last few months and it's been because of an issue with the needle not drawing back straight away and when it does it pulls the needle half out and I'm out and not skilled enough to find it again since it's all red I can't tell when I've got it or not so I slam it roughly where I think it should be or it happens cause it's not slamming so I fucken get stressed and fumble it readjusting my grip and it moves around but I hope for the best and whack it and it's fucked but when that shit happens I got like a 50percent success rate of getting it back in the veinand Also I been shooting up like 3 times a day lately and sometimes I need a break cause the little bit of space I've got is riddled with holes, and there's no room to avoid going back somewhere I've already gone recently. I get bruising and shit and it'll sting to go in when it's like that, so I have to leave it to heal for a while, but what would be the best way to help heal the vein and skin to make sure I don't cause too much damage and to prolong the lifespan of that vein? I would like quitting the habit to be on my own terms and not because of a collapsed vein. And lastly what the fuck can I do, if anything at all, to get healthy full veins to come to the surface? Cause ideally I would like to have options where I shoot for when I miss or one veins getting thrashed and needs a break. I know short term tricks like drinking bulk water, pumping your hands, a tourniquet even though it's not the safest, the whole chicken wing your arm above your head for a while then snap it out fully extended and the veins should snap right to the surface, but none of these really accomplish what I'm looking for. Sure they help me get that one little bit of vein to be slightly more visible, but it's not a long term fix. I used to be veiny in my teens for like one year there I was veiny as fuck but these days you can only see them in my hands and feet and I've tried using my hand once and never again. There's gotta be a way to get normal healthy veins that you can actually see and I'll do anything to make that happen, I know this whole things gonna go to shit sooner or later if I have to rely on my little friend that I have to use every single time. would just be nice to not be stressing about how many more times I can go there before it's fucked for good. Thank you for your time and any advice will be greatly appreciated, sorry for the long winded paragraph but I had to explain myself properly. Also if we can refrain from telling me to give it up or that I shouldn't be shooting up I would appreciate it, I know what I'm doing and how bad things can get and I know in myself that I won't let it get too out of control and that the day it does get out of hand and it becomes more work and brutality then it's worth then I'll quit it it'd be really hard to make it an every day thing in the long run with the prices in Australia sometimes I go on benders that can last a month or two of everyday use like right now but I'm trying to keep my nose clean and stay away from doing crim shit to keep up an everyday habit so the everyday use is coming to an end for a while. I just need a bit of guidance to do things as safely as possible with minimal harm. Cheers you guys, if you read this entire thing you're golden and I appreciate you.
