I'm Out of Needles!

I just ran out of needles. Before you guys go around thinking I'm an idiot, haha, it's not entirely my fault. I go to college in the US, but I'm Canadian. g#$pinz.com won't accept my credit card becuase it has a US mailing address and a Canadian billing address. So I'm screwed, and I have to get someone to order them for me on their credit card. The problem is, I don't trust anybody enough to let them know I'm doing something illegal, this school is very strict about that kind of thing

So last time I told my friend I was ordering some viagra online, and I needed a few supplies to mix it and everything, and he bought it. But this time he's been away for a few days. I think I can get him to order it tonight, but the earliest the needles are going to come is Monday. I have a few 20g needles and syringes and a few insulin pins. I usually draw with the 20g, and inject with a 25g needle, but I'm out of 25g needles

My next injection is supposed to be Sunday (I'm doing 500mg/week of Test E, I injected 250mg yesterday which was Wednesday), so I'm thinking I have a few options

1) Just wait till Monday or Tuesday and don't worry about missing a few days
2) Inject with the 20g OUCH!
3) Try to somehow inject with the insulin pin
4) Try to go to a CVS around here and see if they'll sell me some needles. I'm not sure if they even carry 25 or 23g needles there or if they'll sell them to me. I live in New Jersey if that matters

What do you guys think?

Man up and use the 20g. One time I only had a 1g to use and I shot with it, thing was bout as thick as a pencil :)
 
Don't use a slin pin. It won't be deep enough, and probably take an hour to fill/shoot. If you go to any public place, expect problems. Best bet is to use the 20g, it isn't that much worse and its only temporary...right. If you don't think you can handle it, 2 days won't make a huge diff. Its definitley better to wait two days than risk jailtime. In the future, get one of those prepaid cards. You can put a different name on them, but addy has to be right.

Why did you run out, didn't you know how many you had?

I knew I needed to get more for a long time, but the only person I trust around here to order needles online for me has been unavailable for the past few days, and like I said, I can't use my own credit card because I have a Canadian billing address

Thanks for the suggestions guys, if I can somehow get the needles by Monday, I'll wait, otherwise it looks like it's going to have to be the 20g. I'm not even really worrieed about the pain as much as I'm worried about scar tissue, but I guess once isn't going to make a difference, will it?
 
How much injecting would you have to do in a certain area for it to really be scarred up? Say if your shooting in your glutes around 250mg a week each side. How many cycle would you have to do before scarring became noticeable with like a 23g needle?

Damn! I never even knew that research-ology.com sells needles. If I order right now how long do you think it will take to get to a New Jersey address? I'm willing to pay extra for fast shipping, do you guys deliver on weekends?

I used em, 3 day ta but shipping is a tad high. I'd order a shitload to defer shipping cost.
 
dont you guys have drug stores that sell needles?
i mean why order over the net?
i just walk in and say i want 14 2ml syringes and 28 needles. whats such a hubba bubba about going and buying the stuff ?
 
I have the same type set-up as you. My credit card company will let me call in and I can request an authorization number for a buisness that I would like to approve funds for. They hold the funds in your credit card account for 48 hours and when the company calls they provide them with the authorization number and it's processed.

GP will take MO's


Thats what I do. Just go to the post office get a money order, and mail them your order. It will take a little longer, but you won't run into the problems your having now.
 
I get most of my last minute pins (when I run short after mail order) from Walgreen's Pharmacy, a National chain in the States. No questions asked, and they have 25 guage 1" as well by BD....perfect for quad injects. I also prefer BD over Terumo - the BD are easier to use, meatier, stronger, sharper.
 
Well I ordered from research-ology, it was eaiser and probably faster than getting a Money order anyways. I forgot to mention that I don't have a car or any way to get around here, so it's either the local CVS, or I'll have to take the train all the way to New York City (about an hour and a half train ride). I might still use that 20g to inject on Sunday, and the new pins should probably come in on Tuesday. 1 shot with a 20g isn't going to make a difference when it comes to scar tissue, will it?

Thanks for all the help guys
 
Just drive to NYC and go to a drug store and buy what you need you dont need a script and they dont ask questions by law they cant and they have to sell you oh and you dont even need ID as long as you look 18 or older and if they don't have the size you need have them order them it takes a day I go to Duane Reade for mine.
 
States laws about syringes vary. I can get as many syringes as I want without a prescription. Call a local pharmacy and just ask if you can buy syringes without a prescription. Also, larger pharmacies (like Walmart) are probably more likely to already have syinges in stock.
