Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

You likely hit a vein, but nothing to worry about at all.
Look for a more fatty spot and pinch, then jab.
Be sure to wait a few seconds before slowly pulling the needle out.

You're on your way to slaying this dragon! Those sides prove the medicine is working. As said, drink lots of water and maybe not plan to drive to the Cape on Dead Man RT 6 on a holiday weekend, LOL... Hope you had fun?.

good luck steve, i skin- popped the stuff into my belly.(slant-drilled). its the only speck of fat left after a few months and i wouldnt recommend putting intron into any muscles. muscleburn will be your worse enemy, least that was my experience.
