Yes great news.  If I think way back to my first inteferon treatment 10 or 15  years ago I recall getting a big headache and then it was better on subsequent shots.  Not fun :} but the first inteferon treatment was the easiest for me.  

Are you working Working Dog?  Working and pushing myself while on interferon caused more side effects than anything else.  The times I could rest and take it easy made the side effects much less.
