What kind of syringes do you use w Heparin?

The pharmacy suggested I try insulin syringes. They are very tiny so it doesn't hurt going in, but on the flip side it takes forever to do the shot.  What kind are you using?

ones that hurt! LOL

I think 25 ml/gauge ones... they are small.... but not as small as the lovenox ones....

Mine are "BD Allergy Syringes" .. I don't know what gauge they are.. but pretty small. They hold 1 ML each, but I only use .25 ML each time.

I cannot fathom why I am on .8mL THREE times per day.  It seems like so much more than everyone else?????  Thanks for your syringe ideas...keep them coming.  I've got to get a new kind because it hurts so bad waiting on that tiny insulin syringe to get the .8mL out.

That does seem like a lot..Although,  I think I am on a relatively low dose compared to others I have seen here, I think most have said .5 ml 2x a day, and I am on .25ml 2x a day.

My shots USUALLY don't hurt.. and when they do..its more the needle stick, not the actual injection part.
