Trying to figure this out.

After being on tx for almost 12 weeks, I am seeing a huge variation of sx from week to week and wondering if it has anything to do with where I give myself the shot. I take my shot of Friday evening at about 6:00, and usually feel OK till Sat. evening, then things get worse till Monday and level out for Tuesday and maybe Wednesday. Some weeks I feel pretty good on Thursday and Friday, but some weeks I feel horrible those days. I notice the fat in the center of my stomach seems to be a different consistency than the fat more to the side, and I'm wondering if that causes it to take longer to get into my blood stream.

Anybody else notice a difference?

Well that's a drag!! I was hoping I could find out that taking my shot in the right spot would at least give me a couple good days a week. I guess I really want to be able to control this somehow... and it's hard to know I can't.

Twelve weeks is a good starting point to where you have some tx history behind you and can compare weeks.  "Some weeks are horrible" followed me right though 72 weeks of treatment.  It became the norm instead of the exception and I didn't have any difference in fat consistencies.  It's the nature of the beast.

I seriously doubt that the consistency of fat in your stomach plays a role.
Some days are better than others - some weeks are better. That's the way treatment is.
