Began treatment last Tuesday Dec . 2

[Guest guest]

I finally have begun treatment, I first joined this group over a year

ago, and tried to get treatment last year, but my ignorance and the

careless handling of my case by my doctors nurse or aide, kept me from

getting the meds. Now that I have them I understand what I should have

done last year. The first shot wasn't too bad, little chills in the

middle of the night. And tired in the morning, What I worry about the

most is forgetting to take my Ribaviran at the correct time. No alarms

don't work for me. But if I have to I may try them. I just realized how

expensive this treatment is, I got 4 weeks worth of medication and its

well over 3,000 dollars. So I don't want to screw this up. May be my

last chance. Also am beginning to realize how new this disease is to

the medical community, they really don't know what they are doing.

I am involved in a research project , I hope it can help in some way.

I am type 2 which is good. Anyone who would like to email me privately

it is okay with me.

, Try one of those "doseometers" - the thingies with sections for you to put your meds for each a m & p m each day for a week. That way if you forget a dose - it's still there & you can take it as soon as you realize that you didn't & you don't have to worry about taking the same dose twice thinking that you forgot the first time. It works for me!SuZie Why do croutons come in airtight packages, aren't they just stale bread to begin with?
