Welcome Wyatt!

I too picked Betaseron when I first started. it was not a bad drug for me, and I had very few flu side effects. A few advil, or taking the shot a few hours before bed would help prevent having to deal with many of them. It turned out my liver didnt like it, but they do routine screening to be sure your ok.

I liked mixing my own, and that I didnt need a fridge. it was a great med, but it didnt like me.

Make sure you hydrate well on shot days, and that you take your premeds in the early days, as you titrate upwards, it will help.


Good luck.
