[QUOTE="peppiB, post: 82252, member: 15441"] Over the years I have torn most of the skin on my hands and made them bleed in the heat of battle repairing various motor vehicles,(have the scars to prove it) but when my meter arrived i found I just couldn't push the button to self inflict an injury. I had the thing for 2 weeks before building up my nerve, aided by a couple of glasses of red wine, to actually press the button. I found it didn't really hurt at all (using the side of finger) and have been fine using the machine fully sober ever since! I did have others offering to do it for me (masochists!) One thing I have found, though (it may just be me) is never to use a little finger as that does sting a tad! [/QUOTE]
