Interferon

Last week I took my first injection of interferon and got really sick.  This week I took my second shot and felt nothing.  My dr told me if I don't get sick the meds are not working.  I was hoping not to get quite so sick this injection but to feel nothing I am worried it is not working.  Has anyone else been through treatment without getting sick and the treatment worked?  Please let me know I am worried.  Thanks

Don't let it worry you, treatment is like a roller coaster it has many ups and downs and twist and turns, enjoy feeling good while you can as odds are it won't last through out treatment.......BTW, don't really agree with your doctor.

Wishing you the best
