Volada,
First BREATHE! slowly!

I was on Avonex. I can tell you this...no one reacts the same to anything....
For me, I had NONE of the flu side effects and breezed through it that way. However, my white blood cells didn't like it and now I'm on Copaxone....
Back to you, I think you are smart to think about not having hubby around.
You will have to answer for yourself. This Wed or next week?
Do you want hubby to be trained? Are your kids old enough to pop in something in the microwave for dinner after school that day if needed? Do you have someone else that can come over, if needed that afternoon, evening? Did your neuro tell you to get on this as of yesterday?
Good luck!
