Buzzy For Shots!

Shot night just got a whole lot easier for Mia! My parents got her a Buzzy 4 Shots of her very own! Buzzy's unique job is to take the sting out of shots by numbing the area with the ice pack that is located underneath. Then you remove the ice pack after the area is numb and place the vibrating Buzzy on the leg. Buzzy's job is to desensitize your body's own nerves, thereby dulling or eliminating sharp injection pain. Pretty cool, eh? Buzzy is used for shots, lab draws, for bee stings, for boo-boos, for burning injected medicines or immunization pain.

We first heard about Buzzy from our friend, Addison, who also does weekly methotrexate shots for her juvenile arthritis. Every little bit helps, right!? Thank you, Addison, for sharing your tip to make shot night easier!

  1. We are delighted to see your blog post about Buzzy! We are preparing a newsletter that includes a 12-day Buzzy giveaway. We'd love to use the cute pic of the child holding Buzzy - would you mind if we included it in our newsletter? Thank you. Jennifer Tipping jtipping@mmjlabs.com
