side effects

[Myown]

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.

It's good to see that she doesn't catagorize, label, belittle, or cast disparagement on others.

BTW, some see "religion" as what you practice in church, which is different than "faith" which is how you live your life.

There's a BIG difference that may not be obvious to some, but some are blind by choice.

I was hoping this thread would end on a positive note not a negative one.

Next thing you know she will be blaming the "Liberal Media" for influencing you LOL

I watch out for fundamentalists of any religion, they all have an axe to grind on someone else's head for their own gain.



Hope you are making it through ok and having a Happy New Year.
