I adjusted the needle so there was exactly 1/4 inch to injest....cant feel

the needle!!!!!

What a trip!

Took it in the side under my right ribs.....didnt pinch....just stuck and

injected slow....so easy....hope hell doesnt visit.

Having my Church lay hands on me and pray me thru this next year, they may

have to carry me in....but I'll get my annointing Sunday mornings!

the water sounds great.....mmmmmmmmmm21 minutes and I have a fevery feeling

brewing under the skin where I shot me....ok...doing tylonol and bed folks!

I'm on the list and waiting for my number to come up. Did you sign up with Be

in Charge at Schering? They have a 24/7 support number to call -

1-880-437-2608. You can call any time to be a part of it. The nurse I talked

to gave me all sorts of tips that patients share with her about taking the

shots. Some take a hot bath first, so the needle goes in easier, some let the

alcohol dry completely before injecting so the shot doesn't sting, some drink a

big glass of water right before and right after - they say the side-effects are

less. I'm sure there are lots of people on this list who can give you tips,

mine are just hearsay at this point. Anyway, they are so nice, I'm sure whoever

you talk to will walk you through and stay on the phone while you do it for the

first time. I wish you all the best.

Well, good for you! Gonna come back to you when my number comes up! I didn't

know you had a church where they lay on hands. I've had that experience with

other things, and it is amazing! I watched Larry King last night, he had on the

lady who was the mother of that sweet little who was killed. He asked

her why she was so strong, and she says she was lifted up by the power of prayer

by millions of people. My prayers are with you tonight, hope your side effects

go away soon.

6 am Saturday morning

I feel so normal!

I am stiff and sore from work.

VERY normal for me.

It's been 9 hours.

I actually have to go to work for a few hours today.

I'm sure it hasn't hit me yet.

Told a guy I work with, if all my hair falls out and it's the only side

effect......I'd have 0 complaints.

He's been on since Febuary and other than a little large muscle fatigue and

soreness like you'd get from over stretching a muscle.......he's doing

great......

Guess I'll take the pills starting @ noon today.

Everything is supose to be the same hour.

With my memory....I'm not sure HOW MANY pills I'll remember to take.....and

have to do this for a year!!!????

I'm a laborer in new home construction, so my biggest worry right now is how

I'm gonna tolerate the heat and sun for 8 to 12 hours a day. I can't eat

heavy meals in this heat....so fruit and gatorade have been my main food

source....and soup and crackers. I still have to go see the nurse so she can

teach me how to do this.....my little sister is an ER nurse, and I used to

give our cattle the injections at home as a kid, so I saw no need to wait for

her. She said they'd do a cbc?.....blood count every 3 months.....and that's

a worry.....A friend of mine has his blood drawn every 4 weeks. He has a

doctor that is specilized in this. My doctor has a nurse. He wrote my script

out....and told me it was the first time he ever wrote one for these

meds.....and was based on the nurses recomendation....so I'm going to a new

Doctor. The Nurse who made the appt for Sept 26 said go ahead and start the

meds now. They'll have my records forwarded and have fresh bloodwork drawn so

it's more current than 18 months old. I don't want to be my own doc....but

will if necessary, rather than place my faith in someone who only does the

biopsys and lets a nurse handle the rest......I haven't much faith in her

right now either....they both seem aloof and flippent about the whole thing.

Guess I'll go back to bed and rest till pill time at noon.....although I may

have to do something....I'm not good at resting......kills my back and hip.

Also make sure you eat something healthy and I think according to you Drs advise

you can take 2 tylonal or advil before injection to help with flu like symptoms.

I always took mine in the evening so I would sleep through allot of it. But

make sure until you know how you react, you have every thing you need handy and

nothing planned. Dana
