Ok...number 4 shot....to the arm...compliments of hubby, manually... hurt like the dickens at first, calming down a bit faster than all the others...

Let me share with you a conversation with a SS nurse and myself today!

Nurse "How are your injections going?"
bird - all details of above lots of laughter
Nurse "I'm sure you hit a muscle on your leg and your tummy (since it bruised)"
bird - "I'm not so sure about my leg, but believe me I know fat on my tummy when I see it!!!" LOL
Nurse - "have you tried a warm compress before the shots?"
bird - ""Nope, I'm going to do each area first, so I can see what areas really feel like."
Nurse - silence
bird " I'm a gluton for punishment, aren't I?" LOL
Nurse - LOL "yes" LOL

But it is less than 7 hours since I spoke to her and I am changing my mind.... warm compress FIRST from now on!! I'm tired of the pain!!!

I love KarenMarie's documentation of her shots!

Karen, are you using the warm compress? Have the reactions already started to subside?
