hey, Wiz ... you will endure some redness (maybe a bit puffiness) around your injection spot ... but, I've been on it over 2 years now - and your system needs to do 'its' thing ... and eventually - the bump will be gone - and then just a bit of redness ....

be sure to 'rotate' ... I use a calendar and use the following ... and write the 2-letter codes on each day:
S = LA .... (left upper outside arm) - set at 6
M = RL .... (upper right thigh) ... set at 4 and don't go right on top of the muscle.
Tue = RA .... (right upper outside arm) - set at 6
Wed = LS ... (left side stomache - left of belly button area) - set at 8
Thur = LH/RH ... (alternate every other week - left hip then right hip) - set at 6
Fri = LL ... (upper left thigh) - set at 4
Sat = RS ... (right side stomache - right of belly button area) - set at 8

hope this helps. (((HUGS)))

I may be silly - but I keep the calendar in the bathroom to remind me of where and what day I'm on .. then 'X' off each day as you go ...

I've had no troubles - and it keeps you on track ... and I 'shoot' myself (mornings) after I shower ... and then sit and have my cup of coffee and relax to let the meds do their thing - and I sometimes flush, if I try to do too much right after an injection ...

one day at a time, sweetie!!
