Hi hope every one is well.

Just took my 2nd Peg injection. I have left injection out of fridge 20 mins before taken it. Took 2 paracetamol. Going to take another 2 paracetamol at 10.30pm then bed see if that helps. Hopefully I won't have repeat of last week felt really unwell.

Fingers crossed everyone ❤️

Hi I’ve been on this drug for 3 months now and the side effects have reduced massively over the last few weeks. I used to feel rough the day after and then even worse the one after that but now I feel pretty normal. Hopefully you will feel much better once your body gets used to it.

Lots of love

hi, I found each time I took my Peg the symptoms were less and less. Now I don’t get them unless I take it when feeling unwell. So keep going give yourself a chill day. 🤗💝

Did mine a few days ago 1st time . Put ice on my thigh & didn’t feel injection. Did it 9 pm took paracetamol & fine . Only on low dose to start 45 not 90 . Hoping stays like this after my horrendous reactions on Hydroxy 👍

My first injection of Peg was 90mcg and it really walloped me. I messaged my Dr to see if she agreed to go to 45 and she did.

I am now 3 months at 45mcg weekly and the side effects are barely noticeable. The first couple months I still had to have phlebotomies- 1 each month. Last week’s labs showed a good response to Peg !

Hang in there; it gets better!

I said the other day my side effects were barely noticeable, but this week’s injection hit me a little hard. A lot of fatigue and feeling some weakness. I took it Tuesday night and am still feeling it. So, I guess there can be ups and downs with it. I can say that I do not feel as bad as the first few times I took it.
