Help! 1st shot jitters

[Lady Lauri]

Hi all. Haven't had much time to be on here past few days. Forgive me for asking the question your all probably sick of answering....but.....1st shot tomorrow at 1:00. Won't know till than wether it's pegacys or the trial one, Albuferon.  I am already so drug phobic that I'm having major jitters, while ready to get this 1st one done and the show going!
Could I get some 1st shot reassurance :), advice. (no scary ones, Thank you, LOL.)
Have to get past that I'm going to go out on the table as soon as I do it thought, reactions and all the stuff that goes thru your mind.
Also, anyone use valiunm to sleep thru it, calm you? They gave me some to do.
         thanks so much, Lauri

Don't ya love how I had to post back so much here?? :}
What a nice post, thank you. Bought LOTS of water, tylenol, crackers, etc. today. I do have a fabulous support system, 3 sons, sister, family, friends, work...so much. I am really blessed here.
And they all promise to still love me thru Riba rage :), LOL. I am very glad I joined this 'troop' and we WILL meet at the end of this race, dragon slain, battle won. Keep posting.

Great post and thanks. We're in the same trial so we'll have to keep each other posted. What week are you in, how long, type and if I may ask, where? (please don't make me re-read back :), think your in Shands, right?
Thanks for your advice, words and let me know how your doing on the Albuferon.
I'll be using those words tomorrow.
Have a feel good day :), lauri

Charm... let me know when you get those day or 2 before jitters, It'll be behind me and I'll fill you in :) The anxiety is just H*LL on the mind. it's all the not knowing. thanks for your words and let us know when it's your turn.

Your just starting? I thought you were already in tx? (so many to follow here!) What type are you? Which tx you starting? I'll be sure to follow your post and 'hold hands' with the rest of us beginners.
What would we do without the experienced?! Guess your going thru all the early fears/jitters now.
Totally agree with everyone, the anticipation, anxiety is the worst. I just want to be past the next 24 hours! I'll be hoping the best to you too.

Should have guessed from your name you ride :) Yep, agree, greatest 'treatment' next to God :)
I got dx just 2 weeks after getting my '2005 1/2 Fat Boy anniversary ed." (not sure the why on the 1/2 and love the bike, cept the solid rims suck!) My 2nd bike.  I sooooo want to keep riding but I weigh @ 128 and IT weighs @850lbs. so even lately there has been days I was too tired to ride. Brain fog and anemia is all that will slow me down awhile, but as I am a chick :), I can always still ride on the back sometimes :) Yours is a 'real' bike tho :) Ever heard of 'Wheels Thru Time' museum in Maggie Valley, NC ? One of the #1 antique Harley collections in the world, with many other things, cars, etc. ( I rode in Steve McQueen’s old Cadillac in their Christmas parade, Dusemburgs (sp?) and so on. Incredible collection and display. Dale Walksler’s the collector, owner. I dated him awhile when I lived there. Still a friend, just a lousy boyfriend. Pull up his name or the Museum on comp. Hanging out with all those bikes was better than any s*x , LOL! Check it out if your ever there. Tell him ‘LP’ said hey :)
Sorry , got distracted on the Harley addiction:)
  Back to ‘Forum’……very glad your doing good thus far and encouraging.What type are you? And I have to do my 1st shot at Shands with them, surprised that many are doing there 1st shot at home?? How big are these shots ? (not the needle, the liquid.)
Jeezzzeee.... Now I can't remember how I did the profile ( pre-brain fog?) and still have to figure out posting a picture!
Hope you have a good day tomorrow also. We'll be comparing notes , along with a few other 1st tx-er's. I'll post tomorrow after shot. SOOOO much help and support here. Thanks for replying.
