    doing insulin shots in your legs

    Sometimes I feel like a pin coushin. If you're close to your period, that can really up your sensitivity to pain. What size needles are you using? It's always a pain in the butt to find new equipment, but maybe you can find some that are shorter.

    boy did I need you guys today!

    Keep up with the nasal washes. To relax, get a bag of frozen peas or lima beans (they are the best shape and size), and a wash cloth and use them as an eye mask when your head is pounding.

    Question

    I'm going to be 25 in April! My parents were told all the same stuff too. Please tell us a little more about your friend, maybe we can figure out why the doc said this to him. He is lucky to have a friend like you.
