my first P17 shot

Yesterday I picked up my prescription for the P17 shots. The pharmacist was so sweet, she said that it was a joy to prepare them for me, because she knew that they were helping a sweet little baby. She apologized that the needle was pretty large, but she felt it was necessary since the solution is oil-based.

I went back to work and asked our nurse to give me the shot. She had me ready for some pain--but it didn't really hurt. And it wasn't/isn't sore afterward, either. So, yay.

Yay! I don't usually have a problem with shots, but the idea of them scares me.

Yay! I'm glad that you are starting them. Even if they just give you more piece of mind, they are doing something.

There was one nurse at the Peri's office that killed when she gave it to me. She jabbed me, pushed it quick, and it left a giant welt. Sometimes it hurt so bad that I couldn't sleep at night because my whole side was sore. I tell people that when I see her I hear the Psycho music from the shower scene. It was horrible!!

But so worth it : ) I'd do it ever moment of everday if I had to.
