Asked By:tinat in tampa fl

I am 62 yrs old with auto immune issues, Chrohns , polymyalgia rehumatica, and reynaulds. These injectibles are the first that have gotten my interest to fill in my aging face since I am small and and thin. I do know that this method has been successful in HIV patients so I was wondering if it would have any adverse actions on my conditions
