Honestly Mindy I don't think so.
Please think twice before taking the shot of that nasty drug.
It has left me with so many lasting effects after just one 3-month shot,
and not helped my pain or bleeding at all, that I curse it every single
day when I can't open a bottle of medications for myself - that's how
swollen and hurtful my hands are from something that resembles arthritic
pain.
Please research it and don't take it unless you're absolutely sure of
it.
If you need more help or someone to talk to please let me know.
Good luck and may that drug never ever hurt anyone again!!!
Wishing you painfree days!
Inny.
