Thanks. I haven't had any bad side effects. Each month is slightly different. I had a fine rash all over for a couple of months. My injection sites in my stomach always get inflamed but they look worse than they feel. They dry and peel about a week later. I take anti-nausea med an hour before I get the shots and have had no nausea or appetite problems. I get a bit constipated by the end of the week but stool softeners take care of that. I'm a bit more tired than usual mid-week. Sometimes my joints are a little achy and my gums slightly tender. All in all, it's very easy and I'm very grateful that it works so well.
