Well the nurse finally made it and got the first shot out of the way the worry about the shot was worse than the shot, no pain no burn hope it stays the same as dosage goes up, Guess I won't about side effeccts for a while yet, and she had me do the first one in the stomach, she said to start there because that is where people fear the most, so as of right now I'm a happy man.

Wait--was the nurse cute, maybe it will be more difficult without a cute nurse looking on?

Said she had been a nurse for 39 years, was afraid to lift my shirt for her and also let me know the only Rebif nurse for a long ways around, my wife made sure she was home seeing as it was another female coming to the house than said my god she looks old enough to retire LOL

Thanks for sharing that. I'll be getting my first Rebif shot soon and am nervous. But that didn't sound so bad :) Glad you made it thru. Are you going to be giving them to yourself or is your wife going to do it?

My wife sat through the training with the nurse just in case shee needs to like on the backside but other than that I will be doing the shots, I think it is a good idea for someone else to know how to do it in case of a flare as we don't know what that will bring to us.
I only had slight headache and the sweats for a bit but other than that I woke up fine today. Other than that my pinky has a burning feeling today, but it has been numb for a while so I won't attach it to the shot
