that is great to hear, i hope this is the worse you have during TX.

i know that this shot has been the worse so far, but overall , you seem to have mild sides. i hope you are feeling better soon

They should get easy to handle. I hope you the best

Yes, the water is key. Divide your weight by half and drink at least that many ounces of water each day. Ask your doc if it is OK to take Advil before you go to bed after the shot. That's what I do when I take my shot and it helps. Also, try to have a full stomach before your meds--include some protein. Keep us posted on how you feel. Hugs.

Sorry you feel bad. However, you seem to be doing quite well so far all and all. I hope these sides stay minimal for you. You have a great outlook, keep up the positive attitude! You don't have to limit yourself to boring ol water. You can also make smoothies. I make strawberry dacquaries without the rum of course, and other fruit smoothies, and that really helps me stay hydrated because it tastes so good,I can't stop drinking it!! Throw some frozen strawberries in a blender with a little limeaide, and just enough 7-up to sweeten it up, then hit the liquify button! Use any fruit, any juice, they're all good!!!!

Great advice here----water, water, water.....Helps with headaches. My GI told me tylenol....
It does get better!

Through tx, there are sides that show up later on, some build up as tx continues. It's like hills and valleys; sides come and go, and one side may go and never return but it may be replaced with something new.

Fatigue may take some time to get worse, and also issues with dry skin may not happen for some time. Hair loss does not happen for a few months, but you can have a reaction to shots, like you did on this one, and I had on my very first shot. The good thing is that maybe you won't have any other bad shot nites; I have only that first one that was a nite of rigors, then I was fine.

As everyone has said, you MUST drink that water. I had headaches ONLY when I did not drink enough water. All I did to get rid of the headaches was drink more water! I did not need to take any headache pills, so it proved to me that the water is mandatory on tx. The best way to ensure you drink enough is to always have a bottle of water with you. To this day, I have bottles of water all over my place, beside livingroom chairs, at my bedside, on the kitchen counter, everywhere.

If you drink enough water, there will be many sides that you just won't have, of that I'm convinced. I have very few sides, and none serious; I believe it is due to my drinking tons of water.

the more you do it , the better it gets !!

Hey girlfriend, keep that water intake, very important.

Went to see the kids, they are so beautiful, hope they are being good for mama, and grandmama.

Might drop in and see you later on, I have been sick for 3-4 days now, finally decided to try to answer the easier threads tonight, can't concentrate these days. lol

Love & Respect,
