I agree with the others, take someone with you the first time and also ask them to give you a light dose of any anti-allergic medicine after the first time. I also always drive myself - about a 35 minute drive some of it on a freeway (the A8) and I'm driving along with the worse drivers - the French - in Europe. Take water and a book or magazines to read. The first time you will probably be sleepier than the other times just because of the pre-meds and also the tension of not knowing what it's like. I have great nurses at my hospital (I take them anti-stress chocolates periodically) and I know theirhappy, friendly attitude helps make it easier. Hope yours are nice also. Also if the needle hurts - (it shouldn't but) - ask them for an EMLA (in France that's the name) patch that you put on an hour before injection time and then you don't feel a thing. I used to do it for chemo but now I don't use anything.
You're doing a wonderful thing for yourself. Good luck.
