It's back up again and can be found at the link below Doc Elmo's
Hepfile.  I'd welcome anyone's photo to include in it if you want to

little bubble under the skin) on my thighs.  Yesterday I did it in my
abdomen, sub-cute, and had worse "flu-like symptoms" than before.  Also,

I'm going back to work tomorrow.
I took the day off today as I had my first shot on saturday evening (6:30
pm).
Night was no fun. I had very high temperature until 3 o'clock in the

by them.
I do am talking about posts from Elmo, SteveS, AG, Waterspider and
others.

Suzanne recently posted a funny/true story that included uncontrollable
crying.  For me, being on the verge of tears was common from the
beginning but didn't get out of control until week 12, when I started on

I have been on many newsgroups and forums over the last 10 years. But,
after the first group, I was confronted with whiners who wanted to
know more about their ailment. I had spent a year doing research and
learned a lot about the immune system and blood diseases. I am not an

Does anybody out there know that for the first time in American history the
U.S. Army was used in a war operation against the American people? Right
