Congrats on the beginning of your journey to slay the dragon!

So glad your sides were gentle on you and hope they continue to be so. Everybody has different sides - none of them are fun but I was blessed and mine weren\'t bad but for 2 days after shot and at the end.

So don\'t let anyone scare ya into thinking it is gonna be awful....it is good to be prepared but also it is easy to overthink and worry naturally.

Best wishes on a successful journey...remember each shot is one more down!

I found those first couple shots were the hardest!
Glad you\'re doing good, or at least well enough to get out for a bit.
Hopefully your off tmrrw and you can get plenty of rest.
Anytime you get a chance to take it easy on this tx, I would do just that!

Congrats on your first shot. I\'m in your boat as well :) 2nd shot will be Thursday. I, too, had a good experience with limited sides. Well, so far that is. I definitely had flu-like symptoms Friday, but that was about it. Went out yesterday to a horse/tack auction and got to sit most of it. By the time I got home @ 5 I was beat. My biggest problem so far, food. I can eat but end up feeling pretty yuckie after. So I\'m just making my list as to what I can eat with least yucky feelings and that\'s what I\'m sticking with for now.

Good luck and praying that your 2nd shot will be just as friendly as your first :D
