Went To Get The First Shot Yesterday At The Hospital

[Guest guest]

I went to get the first shot yesterday at the hospital for the

Aranesp to stimulate my bone marrow to produce more red blood cells.

They made another appointment for me to come back for another one

next Friday too in case my insurance company still hasn't approved

the medicine for me to give the shots to myself. The nurse injected

it so slowly, I got bored. She said it has to be done that slowly.

When I do it myself, I don't know if I can do it that slowly. The

interferon injections I give myself for the Hep C treatment I inject

very quickly to get it over with so I can pull that needle out of my

leg as soon as possible. If I have to do it that slow, I will.

The shot yesterday did give me a side effect of a headache, but that

was to be expected with me. The wind can blow from the wrong

direction, and I'll get a headache...lol...not really, but I'm very

susceptible to getting headaches, especially when something different

is going into my body. I slept all day today trying to get rid of

the headache. At least, I haven't had any of the other side effects

from that shot. The main one, she said, was bone pain.

I hope everyone is doing well.
