Follow up visit with the research team to check my injection sites this afternoon. Science can be so fascinating. And, I am quite the specimen. This round of injections was a test round so we knew what was in each one. Number one was the actual drug, two and four were saline, and three was tetanus (because they were hoping it would produce the same reaction as the actual drug). So, I had a lovely reaction at injection sites three and four, but no reaction at one and two. Now, since two and four were both saline one would expect that those sites would behave the same. Nope. Not on my leg. Definitely a head scratcher.
The redness and induration was present at sites three and four but not as big as last time since the test round is a much smaller amount. They were also tender to the touch, which the nurse felt compelled to do a lot of touching. Measurements and pictures were taken and they I was sent off on my merry way.
