      From Jenton September 16

      I'm doing pretty well. No problems with the aldara other than what I expected such as swelling, redness, some localized muscle pain in the arm. I now have a very nasty looking black scab. The itching and burning has calmed down some. Seems to be worse if I get hot. And oh help me if I bump it on something! Hurts so bad it makes me want to say every cuss word known to man and make up a few new ones! LOL! Really have to bite my tongue. May not have one left by the time this is over!!! 3 1/2 weeks to go! hope you are healing well! Jen
