Congrats on getting the first shot done! Hope the side effects get better with time.

Good for you! I have yet to inject myself, and I really admire you! My husband does my Avonex shot--he's a tattoo artist, so needles don't phase him! I'm hoping to get where you are, someday!

I hope your side effects don't last too long. Mine lasted much longer than the estimated 3-6 months, but some people are barely phased by them. I found that keeping myself extremely hydrated did the most for my side effects. I know they're terrible in the beginning, but I promise they get better!
