    Did my 1st AVONEX PEN shot today

    I was a little nervous but it went well. Hoping all my future shots go this smoothly. The Biogen nurse was on the phone with me while I did it so that helped.

    Good for you! Avonex was my first DMT years ago and I was so nervous that I had to have my husband do my shot for months before I was brave enough to go alone.

    I hope you always have the same ease with A. Sometimes, I would have pain or bruising, but that was rare. I never could do my skinny arms (way too painful), so I skipped that part of the rotation.

    Good luck to you and remember to stay hydrated!

      I did my whatever-eth shot today as well. Water is important, as is resting. It used to knock me down for a few days in the first several months. I was on about 2 liters of water a day for a while, and I hope it's easier on you than that.

      Oh, and it doesn't always have to be on a Monday. I've flexed it to the day before and the day after without problem. Might go two days, but I wanted to keep it more or less around Monday.

      Best of luck with it.
