Advice & Tips
It worked great the first 2 years, I was in a hot country so when I had 3 attacks during the 3rd year it was unclear and during year 4 it got so severe that everytime I took the shot I thought I was going to die and became so paranoid that I never left my house for over 10 days. I was very aggressive and very angry and felt like an alien creature had taken over my head.

Advice & Tips
I was having severe attacks that were back to back which lead to my diagnosis. The symptoms of the medication was intense at first. I would have different symptoms hit me every 4 days precisely, so one would finish and the other would start. After 2 years on the medication I find that I might have developed antibodies since I have had 3 attacks in the last year alone, I will be doing a blood test to check for it.

I think it is good to take if you have memory problems because it is every other day, but I am sick every other day. So hopefully when I get to the 1.0cc I will not become sick the next day after an injection.
