1st shot last night. Still no side effects.

[kirk8]

I took my last shot about 12 hours ago.  Drank plenty of water and had a big meal right before.  I have a slight headache and besides that maybe a little feverish but it is hot and humid out so it is heard to tell.  I was expecting to get very sick right away and when I woke up 4 hours ago I felt fine.  I heard that the first shot is the worst.

Am I one of the lucky people who won’t experience side effects?  Is there anybody out there who had an easy time at first and then experience delayed side effects?  I’m going to do boceprevir for 1a so this is just the start of the lead in period.  Might I start to get sicker on boceprevir?

I'm glad it went pretty well for you.  Maybe you will be one of the fortunate ones!

[kirk8]

Thanks for your posts.  I did start to feel kind of feverish and slept for 12 hours last night.  Very mild headache.  Overall I was pleasantly surprised.  Hope it stays like this.

Regards

I hear you sister....lol!

My first shot - a few hours later, I thought, oh this is fine.  I went to bed.  I woke up the next morning and literally looked for the semi that must have run over me.

My first shot was last week at the doctors office. I felt fine at first, but it caught up to me later (fever,chills,sweats,headache). Today I gave myself my shots, was nervous but got through it. The only thing that worries me is the bleeding I had on my thigh, I hope all went in, I won't use the thigh again. Best regards.

Good for you!  That said, you may feel bad some days or maybe not, time will tell.  good luck!!

Not my office, the GI's office, then a 15 min ride. lol.   They had everything sent to their office and the nurse went over all the injection biz and suggested I do it, since I'd be doing it thereafter at home.

kirk 8 - R Glass is so right, don't make any assumptions regarding what's to come.  Just do your best to manage your day and try not to overthink things.

You are crazy cyclist I was nervous just taking the dumb riba before coming in LOL imagine that.

I never had any reaction the first night but had some of the worst sides ever after that..you really never know but hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones :)

Did the first shot at the office

Lol...different approach?  :)

[flcyclist]

Same with me.  Did the first shot at the office, was reluctant to drive home, but did anyway.  No fever or chills, but just felt a bit off.  Same with the following shots and wondered if I was taking the real thing.  The sides will likely creep up on you later, but really no way to predict.    Others might have some comment on the boceprevir, but no experience with that for me.

Hope you continue to have an easy time with it.

I did my first shot...ate my Riba ..went to bed and laid there waiting anxoiusly for something to happen...4 hours later when nothing had...went to sleep...got up and went to work.. felt fine  ;).

Point being you just never know...lets hope you have mild sides like many..
Good luck and congrats on starting....
