Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC

I really tried hard to do the injections myself. They're inter-muscular injections, which means I have to stab myself in the thigh (can't reach my glut, lol!) But the pain from the stuff going in me is like fire in my leg, and I can't physically push in the plunger myself. The first time, BF actually found me half naked, on the floor, my syringe thrown halfway across the room, dripping stuff everywhere. Not my finest moment!!

He's scared of needles too, so he's no help. I did find a friend who said she'd try to give me one, but I think she's just being nice. Maybe if I get desperate! I will count nothing out!

The IVs I get in PA take about 2 hours to drip into my arm. They're bright yellow (think corn-colored jello, scary!) and contain the cocktail they're using to make my muscles feel better and to boost my immune response. I do feel better once I've had one, and I've been going up every 2 weeks to get pumped full of the stuff, so hopefully it's doing some good. Those treatments are $125, plus I pay $35 for the IM shot to get that over with. (...and if we're adding cost, it's $15 in tolls, plus $35 in gas to get there and back.)
