  6. I'm an RN have done lots of ports the Huber needle is much stronger than the normal fine tip I have had to access a port once that way sure could bend or break a needle my thoughts are if you dont do this for a living you are foolish to do on your own even if you do work with ports I would not do my own. now if I had a real good peer I may ask them but the min you mess with your own then you void any resp. of the doc so you may be on you own Hess

  10. I got HF from adipex in the past. It is speed. loved it. Cant say the sameabout the HF that I now have for the rest of my life. Seems like we change one obsession/addition for another. Dont get me wrong I understand it We really get into losing that when we dont it messes with our heads. I wonder do we go the other way? like eating disorders where you puke. From overeating to not?
