TX in Leg or Belly

[Drugs Sucks]

Well i started the Treatment back in may 9 of this year and my viral load started at 4460000 and for the first 24 shots i put them into my legs and they were starting to bother me there with the rash and itching and my viral came down to 50200 as of 8-4

I was to scared to do my belly. So I decided to start the belly shot on my 25 shot and as of now my viral has dropped to 4140 as of 11-4 and my doc has said it alot better to do the belly because it gets into the blood faster then the legs so any turth in that?? Belly better or legs ??

this may sound stupid, but how are you able to reach the back of your arms. i have tried to inject in the arm with my redipen but i need to able to hold pinch with one hand and inject with the other.

I think it's really a question of it you are able to eat regularly or not or something.  I've levelled off now that my appetite has come back more, I mean there are still loads of food that I love but really can't handle anylonger...but ice cream never is going out of style.

I gainned 5 before tx cause everyone said how much I would lose and I couldn't handle it being skinny already...and at week 11 I'm only down 8 from the original weight (13 altogether).

but it's not going down any MORE now that I am eating more.

Hope that made sense.  I guess with ME it's just a matter of how many calories I am able to put in a day...and nothing else.

The nurse told me to move to the back of my arms.  I know rotate between the legs and back of arms.  I avoid the belly.  I wish I had lost alot of weight on this treatment.  Not me... still 5'6 and 145 pounds.  cheers

Point being - I have neither lost weight in 6 months, nor am I underweight. I'm at the high end of normal on the BMI index. I could loose 25 pounds and still be within normal. I dunno, maybe it's just my new sunny disposition that has me looking so trim and svelt :)

Gosh I wish we could all work together although then they would assume we had something communicable hahahahahaha.

Its just amazing to me how RUDE people are about this skinniness.  I mean would you EVER walk up to someone overweight and comment unendyingly about that?

We should just tell them we are working towards being supermodels and trying to appear on America's Next Top Model.......that should shut them up pretty good ;-)  In fact that is what I am next going to say.
