side effects
None to speak of, thank God! I don't feel like there are any meds going through me,,thank God.
This is great so far. The tiny bit of woozy feeling I felt originally, which WAS TINY TINY TINY BIT, nothing scary or anything, is gone and it feels like I am not on tx. I did get a headache 4 hours after the shot and chills, felt like flu,,,,but to those that are planning on tx,,,,,don't even worry about that 'flu feeling' that is mentioned by those treating,,,its nothing that you have never felt before.
I haven't had the flu since i was a child and so when i felt it comming on,,,I turned it to actually think of good memories,,,,I hated school as a child and when i got the flu,,i would be in bed all day with my mother giving me soup and liquids and such. Hard to explain, but I let my imagination take me back to that time and I had a 'safe feeling,' Not to sound 'new age,' which i am not, but just wanted you to know that I just rode the wave, knowing it was going to eventually go away and it did.
The reason I am saying all this is because alot of times we hear how scary treatment is and thus far,,,its a piece of cake,,I am telling those that are afraid,,NOT TO FEAR. Yes sometimes people may have a harder time than others, but sometimes we don't get enough of posts of the positive. We only post when things go wrong sometimes.
Of course I know I have a only been on tx for 4 days, but I AM TELLING YOU, IF I DIDN'T SEE MYSELF TAKE THE INJECTION AND MEDS, I WOUDLN'T EVEN KNOW THEY ARE IN MY BODY.
I hope this helps those who may be fearful. Best wishes to you all.

LOL Well now that we have established that Willows is female! ha I also didn't get anything by willows comment when the thread started to go haywire. Just her own perception of her tx and venting about it. Myown,,,you are doing good to have no sides!!! I hope it continues through your whole tx! Wouldn't that be great! Thats all you can do,,,one day at a time will get you to the end. To look at the whole picture is just overwhelming! And you need to continue to post about your sides or no sides! People need to hear that it can go either way. That tx isn't all bad especially when SVR is the prize!
I never got that....or maybe I just didn't notice it. Mike
I hear you, but perhaps that's because we no longer are treating and the fog is lifting from us ;-)
Okay, I sort of understand, but this whole thread seemed a bit strange to me. Mike
It was in response APK's reference to being a spy and the the "seeing black helicoptors" jab often associated with those who are conspiracy theory fanatics.
You lost me there GO. Mike
