[brown_eyed_grl]

I must say it was the scariest thing I think I've ever done in my life. Im still a bit freaked out.

I did everything I've learned here. I am well educated b/c of all of all of you.

It's only 6pm here in Los Angeles, so Im sure I'll feel the sides. I kind of wanted to know what to expect.

OMG it's finally the beginning....
lets get um!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im so happy to hear you are a few ahead of me so I know what to expect (well kinda) Hope all is well w/you and your sides arent too bad. I havent felt any as of yet, but I do feel a bit light headed.

I cant believe I actually did it. I am visualizing those little suckers arent too happy right now.

Hey... Congratulations You Did It & Have Officially Started..
How are you feeling today???

I hope you were blessed with minimal sxs!
:)

Did my shot at 5pm and waited...and waited but nothing happened. I did feel a bit wired so I took an ambien. Woke up this morning and felt great. No sx whatsoever!! As the day went on, still nothing. Im thinking when the meds are leveling up at around 8 weeks it may change, but untill then, I'm enjoying this ride.

Maybe I will be one of the few w/no sx. I will keep a positive attitude and lets see what happens.

WoW...  That's Fabulous... I figured you'd a least get chilled ... maybe with the ambian you slept thru them...LoL

Well....Your off to a GREAT running start....Way To Go....

Hang In There... & Just remember... not every day can be a good one... so don't go out & run any marathons... & pamper yourself as much as possible... you'll need it, you deserve it... & you owe it to yourself... you're on a HEALING Mission here... Ha!

I hope you will be blessed with little to no sides!

welcome to the world of treatment. glad you are not experiencing sx. wish you an easy, successful journey and all the best.

Hi Allan,
It must feel so good to finally get started. This is how I felt. I feel very lucky. The only sx I have felt is insomnia. Friday night was my first shot and couldnt sleep, so I took an ambien...woke up groggy. Saturday, no sx, but again couldnt sleep and tood another ambiem. I really dont wanna get addicted to them. I do have that addictive personality, so I have to be careful.

All we can hope and pray for is a smooth ride and deal with each side as they come.

Sounds like youre doing well and look forward to your posts.
