Everyone reacts differently but the fact that some people do get through it with minimal side effects, also means it is possible for you to get through it the same way, too! Waiting is definitely the pits! the "Fighting" stage is SO much better and you are almost there. Hang in there and do whatever positive thing you can to get your mind concentrating on the positives coming your way.
