Ok, you were all right ! I got through the first shot this morning with only a couple "weepy, I feel sorry for myself" moments. The nurse was fabulous! After a few "practice" times, I just went for it and I hardly felt the needle either.....

My arm did have some weird feelings for the first 15 minutes or so, I wouldn't describe those as painful, but more of an ache.

Now I feel a bit silly about being so anxious about it, but I got through it, just like you all said, and Yes....I am proud of myself!

Thank you everyone for your support, it really means so, so much to me!
