Legs are skinny, tummy, fatty! It sure made a difference for me! Injection side effects are different every time for me, how about anyone else?
Sharon 06:21AM ET 2006-Mar-21	I give myself the shot in the thigh also..and yes it reacts differently each time, but I found, at least in my case the really bad side effects are from the Ribivirin, not the interferon...that's a rough part of the treament..I often have fevers and the new fever patches help alot..give them a try!
