Here's hoping for NO side effects and flu-ey stuff for you!

Let us know how it goes!!
Beta is SubQ. Avonex is the only IM injectable.

So here I sit, waiting with my stock of chocolate mud cake, hoping that I'll skip the side effects. Ha! I'll should be so lucky eh?
Good deal and congratulations! I hope the side effects aren't too bad. The doc didn't have you titrate up slowly? I remember when I first started that I started on 1/4 dose for a while then 1/2 dose then full dose. Made the side effects a little easier.
