@sophiarose Hey, thank you so much for your reply. I have been asking for the short-term as apposed to the monthly shot. I am wanting to go back to work and am worried about the diarrhea component. I was also wondering if your doctor did any base-line blood work on you before starting the shots. My surgeon told me all the possibilities of problems it can cause from gallbladder to elevated sugar etc. It just seems like a wise idea to know where you are before you start the injections.
