Yesterday afternoon I took my first
starter kit of Avonex to my MS nurse for instructions on its use, possible side effects and how to minimize them, to get questions answers, etc. My roommate met me there and came along as an extra pair of ears and so she could learn to inject me if I have an "I just can't do it!" week.
My nurse was wonderful, informative, and the three of us laughed a lot. Unfortunately, she kept sneezing and blowing her nose; said it had just started.
