When you give yourself a subcutaneous shot. Pull the plunger on the syringe

back 1/16th of an inch and see if you get any blood. If you do, IMMEDIATELY

take the needle out, pitch it in your handy-dandy BIOHAZARDOUS CAN, get a new

one and start over. What you have done is hit a vein. NOt a good plan with

this drug. BE Careful......if you don't know how to do this, grab the

nearest RN and have he/she drill it into you until you are comfortable doing

it. THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!

Hi Tatezi,

You mention you are doing shots in your Tummy as

well as Alley Pat was. What I am asking is, I keep

thinking of there but I am scared that they will

really hurt there I have been using the places where I

can find the most fat deposits, like the inside of my

thighs and a area on my hips toward the back. It

burns something fierce and leaves big knots under the

skin even there sometimes. I have tried letting it

warm up and different things, rinsing needle off

before putting in my skin etc...I am doing 5mu shots

every night so it is like a hunt and search

party...lol..I am wondering about if it would not hurt

in the tummy but too chicken to try it...Take Care

Connie

as toast. and when she turns up the heat

I sneek down the rec. room and crack the sliding door open and when she

tells me she tells me it feels a little cold I tell her its in her head

..(but to be honest with you you could hang beef down there!)

I was told by both the liver guys I saw and the Committment to Care

folks that the shot is absorbed better and faster in the tummy.

Sometimes they hurt, sometimes they don't. I think it depends on if I

nick an artery or blood vessel, but don't know for sure. I insert the

needle slowly, I don't just stab myself.

When my tummy hasn't had any un-bruised spots I've used the outside part

of my thighs and it always leaves a lump there for a day or two.

Does that help any?????

With THIS kind of drug therapy I don't think 'faster'

is better. Slowing the absorption of the interferon is

the whole point behind the pegylation technology - the

half-life of interferon is already too short! Even

with pegylation the half-life of Schering's Peg-Intron

is still only about 50 hours.
