I thought I would give all of my friends on this forum a up-date on my tx, 1000 mg of riba each day started last Fri. Gave myself first shot Fri 8.30 pm. No sides until mid-day Sat with mild headache,sat night just a little fever took  tylenol, sunday felt good. first week has not been bad. I feel better knowing that I'm treating. One down 23 to go.God Bless!

Hey - me as well !!!!  I took my first shot Friday and aside from a little nausea and a headache,  I am feeling pretty well.  I thought that maybe the worst was to come but I guess not.  All the anticipation of being on my death bed amounted to wasted energy and fruitless fear.  

We will see as tx progresses but so far so good.

Your response is promising. Usually, if you don't have many side effects from the first shot, you're going to do fine. Not always, but just my general observation from reading this board over the last year.

Usually if people are going to have strong side effects, they get affected pretty heavily by the first shot.

Good job!
