Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I hope it works as well for you as it has so far for me. The only side effects I remember at the beginning were the soreness at the injection sites and also a horrible headache for about the first 4-6 weeks. My doctor gave me very low dose beta blockers that kept that under control until it went away after about the 3rd or 4th set of shots. Good luck!

I haven't really noticed anything except for a little soreness in my arms and joints, minor dizziness initially and a sore throat. This may or may not be a side effect of the injection because I don't know how soon anything like side effects will show up. My goal is to get of many of the drugs I am currently taking, especially prednisone and be able to get back doing the things I liked to do; play golf, tennis and walk. The last couple of years I was afraid to play golf or walk very far because I was so sure I would find it very difficult to breathe when I was the farthest from the club house. I hate it when this happens. I used to walk 3 - 4 miles each time I was on the golf course before the darn asthma took over. The worst thing is you never know when it will happen. Here is hoping things will get better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
