Advice & Tips:
So far I have only been getting the side effects. I get golfball sized painful lumps at the injectino sites which are red and hot to the touch for up to 4 days following the injection. The lumps have yet to go away or lessen in size. I have been told, "this happens" and I can "rub them to minimize the size". Okay......NOT WORKING!!! Then I had what they called 'seepage' the last injection. Once the needle was remove my body basically spit the solution out. Not drip, drip, but a steady flow until just about all of it was gone. Again, I got "this can happen".
These do not sound like normal reactions, nor positive things ones body should be going through to me. Just saying.
