Gavin Kistner 1:22pm EST 2000-Nov-10	Yes! And, if you find a small stool or pillows or coffee table to put your foot up on, you get looser skin/fat on the upper thigh, allowing you to bunch it up more easily. :)

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 6:21am EST 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!

I'm tired of deleting them, so until I implement some sort of a captcha or other authentication system, I'm just taking comments offline. Stupid mean spammer people just suck. A lot.
