Started up on Rebif

I got to see the nurse last night and started up on the course of medication which will probably continue now for the rest of my life. First injection wasn't so bad, went into my stomach and so far very little reaction to the medication, only down side is as per normal I'm just exhausted this morning, nothing new there. I do want to cry tho I missed having a lie in this morning which I was looking forward to! Conversely my boss is probably happy that I'm in. Also it meant I could sleep off the worst of any side effects if any last night before coming into work. If we had done it the other way around I could have been even more miserable today.

All in all, so far I can live with the injections in the stomach we shall see about the other spots as we go through them. The nurse was wonderful with suggestions about how to manage some of the side effects and was very thorough explaining all of that, I definitely felt comfortable during the whole experience, she even gave me suggestions for over count things I can get if I end up with red spots and things from the medication. Oh and I need to make sure I have a supply of tylenol handy until I may get used to this, that helps with the flu like symptoms.

Now for the other news Jagr got his promotion at work! Yay, that will be a help to us I'm sure. Not to mention it will change his work nights so we get Friday nights and Saturday mornings together. No more having to do the damn shopping on my own wee! I'll have to do it this weekend then after that hopefully I will have some help. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to that. The shopping I don't mind so much I really don't it's the lugging it up the stairs and the putting away that I don't like too much. I'm more than happy to plan and go and shop I just hate coming home and dealing with all of it after, specially trying to do it on my own, at that point I am getting tired I really am.
