Raymed needles

[flosslechops]

Hi everyone,just wondering if anyone has used raymed needles and if they are any good?usually use bd microfine or terumo,these came up with a google search but I've not come across them before,thanks

[wedgewood]

I’ve never come across them .Raymed seems to be an Indian company .

might be fairly new then,inc.postage £4.90 for 100 needles,the website is co,uk so I may try it ,thanks wedgewood

[wedgewood in reply to flosslechops]

That’s a good price for including postage !

[flosslechops in reply to wedgewood]

I asked because I thought it might be too good to be true !I will order some and report back,got to try these things( the postage is a pound so the needles are about the same price as bd and terumo,will see if they are same quality)

My only order has been Terumo AGANI needles. £2.77 + vat for 100

Never share syringes 2ml £3.51 + vat for 10p I think those a bit more but fit all syringes and I wanted to make sure. Another lot of bigger needles and swabs

Postage £8!! For total order

=£ 21 .50

So does seem a very good deal if that make okay. Worth a try

[flosslechops in reply to Nackapan]

It was high postage for a small order that got me looking round(I keep trying different needle sizes and don't want to order a large amount at a time)I have ordered them now and had a text saying dispatched so I will post again when they arrive and have had a jab with them!!

How are you getting on?

[flosslechops in reply to Nackapan]

metformin didn't work again;on insulin now but struggling with it-achy body ,sore lungs ,tiredness (6 weeks in)-still 10-15 mmol jumps up even though levels are lower,but good news is b12 symptoms are very much improved after nearly 2 years of jabs,thank you for asking-its good to read your posts and that you seem to finally be seeing an improvement too-I hope it continues x

[Nackapan in reply to flosslechops]

I thought we in a similar time frame for b12 deficiency. What regime if injections are you sticking with?

[flosslechops in reply to Nackapan]

yes,august 2018,every 3 days at moment

[Nackapan in reply to flosslechops]

I had a bad fall in Augist 2018 then collapsed 1st October . Diagnosed with b12 deficiency after virtigo.

Not a good year for us then.

I'm injecting every 5-7 days but i can see it getting more frequent if this doesn't work. Was on 2 weekly for a year.

Take care

same here,after 2 nd loading dose I had my last fall-tore the hamstring at back of my knee-funny but after all the falls I'd had over the last few years that was the first time I'd had bruising and swelling-as a child I'd had my pony fall on my leg on the road ,had a nasty cut and broken foot but not a hint of a bruise or swelling, always thought it was weird,wonder if its to do with b12d.Yes I 've been doing daily every other day etc,settled on every 3 days for now,probably change again!I've found depression coming back a bit sooner since starting insulin-does your hubby have b12 jabs and if so does he find it helps?

[Nackapan in reply to flosslechops]

I wonder if insulin is the cause. My husband is on insulin. He said even in the early days his main problem was blood sugars going too low and passing out with hypos . Now he injects after every meal then an injection with long and short acting for the night. This gave much better control.

Like you said before it seems not to be following a straight forward diagnosis.

I'm hoping you are still having investigations. The achyness and lung pain sounds horrible.

Glad to hear b12 symptoms improved.

humalin is what I'm on,was worried about hypos ,lowest no. I get has been 9 mmoll but then it shoots up-my worry was it would shoot down and it would be minus!had to lower dose again-can't stand feeling that rough-nurse is so keen on getting to 5 mmoll I think that is too ambitious-too easy to get hypos like your hubby-docs didn't tell me though that high blood sugar affects the igf-1 blood test-got to get levels reasonable before I ask for another one

[Nackapan in reply to flosslechops]

Other conditions affect blood sugars .

Adrenal problems ect.

Really hope you get to the bottom if it

I have a cousin who has addisons disease and another with lupus-think a lot of these things run through families
