As someone else said, meds effect everyone different. I always had side effects and I distinctly remember the side effects from the first shot being the worst. I dosed up on ibuprofen and drank lots of fluids on shot night. When it seemed my body developed a tolerance to the ibuprofen, I started taking Theraflu about an hour before my shot.
Good luck!

thanks so much--avonex rep said it is not that big a deal--but he isn't the one getting the shot, rushing to work, picking up children, doing homework, etc. etc. --i think i am leaning toward waiting heck--some people don't even go on meds...
