Do I start tomorrow?

My prescription for pegatron is waiting for me to pick up, do I start the riba tomorrow or wait to start them both on Friday when I plan to do the shots? I am nervous as hell.Seems to be ironic to be planning on starting on a course of tx that may make me sick when I feel excellent on a daily basis. Hope you all will be there for me.

Hello there. Please try to get the courage to start and don't be too nervous.  I was feeling perfectly well and runnning my own business - then I started on tx last Thursday..............and I am still feeling extremely well and running my own business!!!!!  I know it is very early days but so far it has been nothing like I feared. Thursday night after my first shot I had a bit of pain in my legs - like a very mild case of flu without the fever - the next day I felt as if nothing had happened - I was even worried I hadn't injected the interferon properly........I had!  Which is worse ......cirrhosis or a few side effects to drugs that may cure you? You might not even get side effects.  Lots of love and good luck
