First off thank you everyone for your replies! I couldn't stop smiling when I read through them. I'm so thankful I've found this site and all you wonderful people! BUT ANYWAYS to the point of my post...
There were a few questions regarding the study and how it goes...so how it works is...
As of right now I will be getting injections every 4 weeks, I don't do the injection myself (honestly I don't know if I could cause just looking at needles gives me the heebie jeebies!), the very kind nurses at the derms take care of that for me. I get two needles every visit (to hide the dose I'm receiving). I got both shots on my abdomen and did end up bleeding and getting quite a bruise from one of the shots. I don't know if that qualifies as a reaction...it bleed a bit and bruised but did not get swollen or red.
Now from what the nurses told me side effects have been minimal but I do believe I experienced some of them. The two days after my injections I found myself getting little headaches, slight dizzy spells and waves of nausia. Although that may sound like alot it was nothing I couldn't deal with. The waves of nausia didn't last very long and the dizzy spells were so random and short they really didn't effect anything. Those effects only really lasted like two and a half days. I'm not surprised, however, that I did feel the side effects. I usually react strongly to medications so I usually experience the whole "shebang". Since that time however I have been doing very well no more nausia or anything.
Alright, I hope that sufficiently answered the questions, you'll be hearing from me again soon. Peace.
