My first doses of Besremi arrived today. I’ve quite nervous re side effects, so I was heartened to see you haven’t had any. I’m too am deeply grateful to have access to this medication, and so hope it works as hoped.

Hi @janem411. That first day with a new med is always a little stress inducing, isn’t it? I’ve had my share of those moments too and each time, my hesitancy turned out to be for nothing. Wishing you all the best. ☺️
Besremi is an injectable medication isn’t it? Did you receive instructions on how to self administer or will be receiving them in a clinic?

I have had no side effects at all from the medication. I am thinking it could be because I was started off at a very low dose and is increased by 50 every month, Just heard from my hematologist and he did increase mine by 50 so now I will be up to 200. Wishing you the best. Praying for you as well,

for my first injection I went to the office and they showed my husband and I how to administer the injection, We do them at home now every 2 weeks
