Well, I survived my first injection. I think I can handle this. I was a bit nervous at first but it was nothing after the first one I think. I didn't mind it that much. The side effects are a bit annoying but nothing serious. My muscles are really sore, especially my abs. But everything hurts right down to my fingers.

I also have a slight headache, but nothing a Tylonol can't fix. I'm going to take one just before sleep in a few minutes. That'll help a lot.

I had a slight bit of pain around the injection site for an hour or so after the injection, nothing major. Looks like I'm taking to it alright.

I have to mention, I had really great support from my family and my girlfriend. They were great and attended the training session with me to learn how to do the injections. Jessi said she was proud of me. :) It was really nice.

I must be off to bed now, before I fall apart. :)
