Advice & Tips
I do my shots Sun, Tues, Thurs. After the first 6 months or so I had no more reactions at all. I can do the shot and then do whatever I had planned. I find that doing the shot freehand is much easier after the initial shock of actually sticking the needle in goes by. Now it is just something I do.

Advice & Tips
Its always harder when you're starting, I think the side-effects are more agressive, but whenever you get your rythm things will start to get better. It has worked really well for me since I've been doing my life normally since I started taking my meds.
