I had to get my daughter to bring home some syringes from her wk she is a nurse because those syringes fill up with the procrit and you can't pull back or ck for blood. She said you can buy them at a nursing supply.

i did my first shot of procrit last week.  i was nicely surprised to see that the needle size is the same size as the pegasys (i had thought it would be bigger), but i was unpleasantly surprised by the burning feeling (but i can deal with that).    i found it a little tricky getting the solution out of the vial....i was not sure how low to keep the needle point so that it is still in the solution as i am withdrawing the procrit into the needle.   if i mess up and i don't withdraw enough solution, can i just put the needle back in the vial and draw some more out?   and when you put the air into the vial from the syringe, do you put are air into the solution as i was not sure if that caused bubble to form.  thanks.  hope the procrit helps you.
