Avonex inj times make any difference?

Hi all, I'm really struggling with the 'flu' type side effects of Avonex (have tried Rebif & reacted to that one too!). a) Has anyone got any tips on how to reduce the effects on the day of the inj? b) Any tips on how to reduce the effects the next day? c) Does inj'ing earlier in the day reduce the effects the next day? Or is it better to inj about dinner time then go to bed? Questions questions! Thank you.

I've found injecting in the morning is best for me - less time to get anxious about it and more time in the day to get over the side effects. I take an ibuprofen mid morning and lots of water which usually staves off the side effects (my skin burns/hurts). If I inject before bed, I get chills in the night which wake me up.
