[markyt]

Ive got a really swolen red injection site , anyone else had problems , Ive been in and out of a sweaty delirium all day long but thats due to not sleeping enoug and late nights ....weakness in unreal and panic attacks when I go out ...hate it ...

Sounds like you got some nasty bacteria in there. Be sure to wash your hands and use the alcohol wipe on the injection spot every time.

Hope things heal up quickly.

I have about a 2" red spot after almost every injection. Some of them were kind of sore, but most didn't hurt. Hopefully things will smoothe out for you a little as time goes on, it has for me.

There are several possible injection sites you can use, more if you have someone else pulling the trigger for you.  My favoite four were the two thighs and two spots in the abs. Rotating though a few targets may help.

There's always the possibility of infection if white cell count is low. If you have high fever or it doesn't resolve soon, it might be more than normal 'injection site redness'. Have it checked out.
