"Click" is the sound I know so well Of the finger prick machine which would make me yell I have 3 of these machines all different colours Pink I use at home, Silver at school and green at my grandmothers
After seven years of injections
Sometimes up to four per day
I find my buttocks and thighs
Are rather lumpy and grey
So if I could describe how it feels to have this condition The word I would use is a human "Pin Cushion"
