So I posted that message to Craigslist, trying to find a home for the extra IFN in my injection pens.\u00c2\u00a0 I had he best of intentions, but boy was I not thinking.\u00c2\u00a0 Here are a couple of the 10 responses:<\/p>\n

Hi,\u00c2\u00a0 Your heart is in the right place,\u00c2\u00a0 but the infection risk of someone else using your partially used pens is HUGE!!!!!!\u00c2\u00a0 Please take the ad down ASAP before some less informed actually takes you up on your generous offer.\u00c2\u00a0 I would hate to flag you,\u00c2\u00a0 no medications to be listed as per craigslist rules, I will trust you to do the right thing.\u00c2\u00a0 I work in healthcare and an fully aware of the cost of this stuff.\u00c2\u00a0 Please don’t put someone else at risk.\u00c2\u00a0 Great idea,\u00c2\u00a0 but there has to be another way to help folks.\u00c2\u00a0 Lobbying in albany or DC or contact local politicians to force Govt to\u00c2\u00a0 further subsidize these meds would be a great start.\u00c2\u00a0 Best of luck to you.\u00c2\u00a0 Happy thanksgiving!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
From Gerthvan<\/p>\n
I don’t need the interferon, but I think you are terrific.\u00c2\u00a0 Have you asked your doctor if there is a patient that might could benefit?\u00c2\u00a0 All the best to you!\u00c2\u00a0 Happy Healing and Happy Thanksgiving.\u00c2\u00a0 You are a good soul.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hello,
\nI admire your generosity, but if this stuff is in a syringe (self injection pen??)\u00c2\u00a0 it would not be wise for more than one person to use it. If I am mistaken please forgive me. I am sure you mean well.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 G-47<\/p><\/blockquote>\nFrom Anthony<\/p>\n
Very, very nice and thoughtful.
\nHope you get better and Happy Thanksgiving.

I freaked out when I realized this.\u00c2\u00a0 I had a total pins and needles attack. So fucked up the thought that my attempt to help someone could make them worse.\u00c2\u00a0 Fuck, what a mind trip.<\/p>\n
Back when I found out I would be injecting my dear friend KM was all excited to teach me how to hit a vein (no he’s not a nurse, no he doesn’t hit veins anymore) but was dissapointed when he found out that all I had to do was jab it in and press the plunger.\u00c2\u00a0 The things that IV drug users know that come in handy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
