Anyone find a correlation between the injection location and intensity of side effects?
I am definitely starting to see a pattern. When I inject in my stomach, the next day isn't so bad. But when I inject in my leg, it's horrible - every time.
I'm now at the point where I only inject my leg once a week, on Friday night, because otherwise I wouldn't make it to work the next morning. My poor stomach is getting pretty lumpy now.

Punchy,
I don't use my legs or butt because I develop nasty lumps that last for days afterwards and are most uncomfortable - especially anywhere that involves sitting on them. Therefore I stick to my stomach - fortunately there is plenty to work with.
I do remenber having more after-effects before I started pre-warming my injections and taking Tylenol 1/2 hour ahead of the shots. If you don't do either of these, I suggest you give them a try.
