I hope to make my first injection....my medic has advised cavijet. Which I am not too keen on......
Also I take 5mgm daily Coumadin ...blood thinner...for A-Fib....does this have any effect on the dosage etc?

Hi,

Ask your euro for trimix instead, the injection may be less painful

Used the Trimix for a couple of years with declining results. At first the Trimix worked great. Dont use auto injectors nor a 30 gauge needle. Too big it caused the scarring IMO.

Im using a big 27G x 1/2 " with good results

I like tri-mix also. Be very careful to avoid hitting a blood vessel where you inject. I don't take Coumadin, but have had some pretty ugly bruises when hitting a vein/artery. The bruising does go away in a week or so though. When injecting, if you feel resistance to the med going in, you may not be in the right spot.

Still waiting for the Caverject.....apparently it will be next month.....in the meantime, I thank you all for the info...I'll keep in touch.
