I took my first 100 mcg dose last week. When they say you may experience flu-like symptoms, joint and muscle pain, fatigue, and overall tiredness, they were not joking. I’m a 69 year old male, vigorously work out 3-4 times a week, and stay pretty busy. Didn’t matter. I’m hoping this is my body’s way of getting used to it and that the symptoms will get better soon. The alternative is not good so I’m sticking with it.
Good luck to you.

@csrb7007 I was thinking the same thing that as I was on the drug a little longer it might get better. But my side effects have gotten worse. I am normally very active as well but my quality of life has gone down. And I'm about ready to give up. Since I have a lot of problems with skin cancer the only other two drugs have the side effect of skin cancer but I think maybe that's not as bad as the side effects I'm having with this drug.

@csrb7007 I hope your side effects subside soon- Please follow up here if you have a chance, as I am debating the switch to Besremi from HU (67F with PV).
