heresjonnie,

So far no problems with Ethyol yet. However, one hour prior to the Ethyol I take 60mg of Allegra and 8mg of Zofran. I also have a script of 10mg of Compazine to be taken for nausea. So far I don't see how I can be too nauseous, but I know it will probably happen. The first injection of Ethyol was a little painful and left a knot in my arm. Each succeeding shot the pain was less and the knot disappeared. The only side affect I've noticed is a dull ache in each arm starting Saturday afternoon and lasting the weekend. Today I tried a heating pad and it seems to have helped. The ache is similar to the ache caused by over exertion from physical exercise, nothing that cannot be tolerated.

Good luck with your treatment, keep up a good attitud.

Pete
