Injecting Thymulin: injection site pain and mild fatigue, any tricks to make it smoother?

I’ve been doing Thymulin injections at 2‑3 times a week for the past month, trying to boost T‑cell maturation after a bout of respiratory infection, but I keep running into the same issues – the injection site feels like a small blister that hurts when I move my arm, and I notice a vague fatigue that creeps in a few hours after the injection. I know it’s a known side effect, but I’m wondering if anyone has found a systematic way to reduce the soreness or if pairing it with a zinc supplement (since Thymulin is zinc‑dependent) helps mitigate the fatigue. I’ve tried using a fine 30‑gauge needle and rotating sites, but the reaction seems stubborn.

Also, I’m a bit concerned that the mild fatigue could be a sign of zinc deficiency or just a normal cytokine surge – any idea how to distinguish? I’d love to hear what the group has observed, whether they’ve tried anything like a pre‑injection warm compress, different injection angles, or a ZMA mix after the shot to help keep my energy levels steady.
