Your attitude will help you a lot. And believe me, you aren't the first one to almost die of fear from the first injection. Now when somebody new comes on you can tell THEM and then say nanannana ;)

I can breath now will. : )  I had myself so worked up that my friend
started saying..... Don't Don't do it.   OMG... there are worst things in
life was my answer as I stuck the needle in.  We both just stared at each
other waiting for something to happen.  Wasn't sure what....but something.
I'm still waiting 13 hours later.  Guess I will go do something fun ;).
Thanks Will

The shots have been okay for me. I hate the Inc and riba. I think I would seriously do fine managing sides if I had not got the anemia. Sundays I get the most achey and "spaced out" or feel a little blue

...but nothing I can't handle. no walls closing in or roofs being torn off;)
I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week on into the rest of tx!!!!
