I hope I didn't give the impression that I was advocating a "chat room" feel. I was just responding to some concerns raised by others. However, I do think that more focused threads, with less topics per thread, will allow people to get both the information and support they want as well as get out some of the funny stuff that can often make our day. That "Ant" thing did go on maybe a little too long, but in my opinion it also acted as a safety valve to let off some pressure on what was becoming a very tense group at the time.

Just to go off topic a bit -- cause what's coming really isn't worth a new thread IMO :) -- I recently came down with a bad cold, sore throat, and fever. Doctor gave me a Z-Pack, some Mucinex and told me to take it easy and have some Chicken Soup. Really!
It's interesting because I haven't had a cold in over a year and I figure it was because the interferon had my immune system jacked up. So in a way, even though I feel like c*ap, it's somewhat reassuring that I'm experiencing something as normal as a common cold for a change.
So the question is. If it doesn't get better soon -- I still have a few peg shots left in my fridge. Do you think it would do any harm to take a shot or two and try and blitz the cold away?? Just kidding. LOL.

Ok, I feel better knowing that we are supposed to post more on others threads!!! Bieng new here I didn't know that!!! AWESOME!
So, ok here is my question jmjm, I took my first shot on Thursday. The site where I gave the injection was just fine.Then yesterday morning (4th day after) it was and still is all swelled up, red, hot and sore. Isn't that strange? Should I have it checked? Or maybe its a belated reaction like my sx. I didn't have any sx until Friday afternoon and then was out of it for 3 days,it was horrible. Anyhow, what about that nasty site injection??
NO you shouldn't take a shot or two (unless your dr says so :)...is that a joke??????
Dunce cap on.....sorry didn't finish the post all the way through...LOLOL.
While it is customary here to post different topics within the same thread like you just did, my point actually was that it might make more sense to open your own thread for a new topic. Just my opinion.
In any event, injection site reactions are common and my NP gave me an rx for a cream should it get bad. You might call your medical team and ask them.
Yes, that was a joke. No way I'm gonna take another peg shot. LOL.
