Hep B Vaccination Side-Effects

[lafred]

Hello, I recieved the 3 Hep B vaccinations last year, now there is a large crater developing at the injection site, you can see the three distinct injection sites, and they are together forming a "hole" where there is no fat at the injection site about an inch wide. I have seen the local doctor, and he too is doing research--do you have any information on this particular problem, and the treatment? please let me know
thanks

Thanks for the post on vision. I have off and on since eyes started bothering me a few days ago noticed some flash like light. That's why I said like a smudge or a halo cause sometimes it's more like light. Interesting it could be related to anemia. I haven't had any headache symptoms. This just kind of popped up. Hav cbc's due back monday, 1st since november cause I spaced. Might tell me a lot about why everything seems to be piling up lately. Fatique,general  blahs and ticked off at everything, eyes. I know I still got it good compared to most. Wanna figure what I can do to manage it better.
Thanks, stay well,
Don

Take a deep breath. Its all good. If HCVpositive took offense at what you said I'm sure she would have said so. I don't think she did. She says she is worried about never being intimate with anyone again- a scary thought for anyone. You proved her wrong. Hopefully it made her feel better. After all isn't this why we are on this forum -to discuss our feelings about our health and hopefully feel better about these problems.

You might be a less skeptical person than I than I am in which case you are the better for it, I mean that. You seem to be very positive and I applaud you for it. But if you look at this person's posts over the past few weeks, it's pretty apparent to me that he didn't make that post to a newcomer to help her find a new mate. In fact in another post he just made he said it was a joke. I for one, think that people should tread lightly with newcomers because they just don't know what the board is all about, especially when they are asking about these types of matters, it's easy to frighten them away from a board that could potentially really help them with this disease. Once they are here for awhile and know what's going on, fine. This is just my take and perhaps I'm wrong and I'm being too circumspect.

You can have the vision thing without the headaches. I had both for about the first 3 weeks of tx, it pretty much disabled me. Now it's every once in a while. Sometimes the vision thing can be a precursor for my headaches. I don't think these are they vision things that can cause permanent eye damage, these are migraine type episodes that comes with the meds. Take care...Peace

I have to agree with Study and Spaceman both. You posted to someone else and that makes it not directed to someone? You seem to be tooo emotionally involved! It's real but it's not the end of the world! Have a nice weekend.

I also am a new comer- fresh to the site today. I appreciate your stance and perhaps you're right. It would be wrong to chase someone away from a site that might help them. I sincerely hope that wouldn't and didn't happen. That being said, for me I couldn't face a tough situation with out humor and survive it. I believe you have to either laugh or cry about it. I choose to laugh about it and deal with what ever my problem may be as best I can. Talking to others who are in the same situation can be helpful for anyone. Hopefully we can all help eachother with our respective problems in a positive manner. Thanks for your opinion.
