we find that the least objectionable way is to grab a fold of the softer part of the belly, right under the waist, midway between the side and the naval, and while pinching lightly that fold of skin and fat with one hand, stick the needle in with the other on a bit of a bias (rather than straight in -- i.e., needle to skin NOT in 90 degrees). the injecting itself should done at medium speed -- not be too fast or too slow. same technique works just as well on the fleshy part of the upper arm, midway under the shoulder. APOKYN has an amazing effect on getting my PWP out of a freeze in about 7 to 10 minutes. however, for what it's worth, he's stopped using the shots altogether because he feels that the subsequent 'off' is much more painful, intense, and harder to get out of. also, he finds that the 'on' period that's brought on by the injection is too short in duration (even when accompanied by sinemet) and doesn't quite feel like a regular 'on.' hope this helps, ariela ----- Start Original Message ----- Sent: Mon, 30 Apr 2007 12:08:23 +0100 From: Alan Cromack <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Apo-Go > Hi there, > I wonder if anyone here is using Apo-go pens. > I could do with some advice in injecting.
