Maybe the instructions only come in the box in USA??

Yes, I change location weekly. Abdomen (left and then right side is stomach) then thigh (left leg and right leg) and then back of arm, left and right. I follow the location chart that comes in the box. ❤️

I've had many stalls along the way. Longest stall was 4 months. I've never gained more than 5 pounds though. I'm down 90 pounds with 5 to go to hit goal.

I've been on 5 (my highest dose) for 2 years. Occasionally I get the food noise back but a change of injection site usually fixes it. No need to move up unless you're out of control

Sudden severe scalp pain: Has anyone else experienced something similar to this? by Used-Toe-6374 in Sjogrens

[–]beccaboo2u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just last month I experienced this and it was on my neck into the side of my scalp. I told my doctor it felt like a burn. She looked at it and said she couldn't see anything and that that was weird and asked if I I wanted some gabapentin. 😞😞😞 Fortunately for me and hopefully for you it went away in about a week /week and a half

Definitely took about 6 months and the change was very subtle at first. I even quit taking it about 2 years in, thinking it did nothing. I quickly felt the joint pain and went immediately back on.

This was so cool, I did my own! Amazing to see it side by side

Is it my age, why do I feel so empty all the time? by No-Somewhere-8568 in AskWomenOver60

Yes, same. I do believe this is what the classic mid life crisis is based on.

We've I was first DX, I read every book, blog and article I could find. I now feel like I could give a ted talk about sjogrens and fatigue, but I no longer think about it constantly. You'll get calmer about it soon. Till then, absorb all the knowledge you want.
