Why is that one week the sides are manageable and the next week they
knock you on your a.s.  I find the fevers very difficult to handle.
Some weeks I have blinding headaches and this week incredible bone and
muscle pain.

Hi gang, not sure if this is good news or bad.  Do we want our liver
enzymes artificially reduced by coffee/caffeine?

Those patches worked out really well for me last night. A little codine,
slap on a patch, and I managed to get about 4 hours sleep. Pretty good

I took shot #2 last night.
Side effects continue to be minimal. Maybe some increased thirst but
