5th shot last night

Hi,
I had my 5th shot last night, I didn't have a fever and now I'm starting to get very cold. I need to find an extra blanket it and curl up on the couch. I've had a little diarreah (diarrhea) today also.

My 2nd bottle of rebetol I ended up with an extra pill. I've tried to count them out accurately. My pill box only holds 2 pills not the 3 I talk in the am. A friend said they may be given me an extra one. If I shorted myself 3 days ago I don't want to take it now and overdose today.

One extra pill could have gotten in the bottle. They have shorted me, so I bet they can give an extra. Sometimes I put too few or too many pills in my pill container (Brain fog) and have forgotten to take them. One extra pill will not hurt to take it. They say if you forget to take one, you can make it up later. I have taken 3 twice a day, instead of 2 in the morning. I haven't felt the effects. It is really important to not miss the Riba during the first 12 weeks. Congrats on 5 weeks! Getting used to the drugs at first was the hardest for me.

Go snuggle up with as many blankets as you can, drink lots of water and take analgesic. I use my remotes for ice packs to cool me off. I put one on each side of my neck or in my eye for fever. Helps me avoid that trip to the freezer!

Hi!! Grab your most comfortable blanket..I do that all the time now (with winter coming on)..I'm always cold, and the blanket just "does it" for me for comfort. :)
Have a great weekend!!

Thanks for you suggestions. I'm feeling better now. I took some Pepto Bismol and I warmed up with my blankets.

I do have a bladder infection that they cannot treat because of the medicine. So I have to get up a lot in the night but I go right back to sleep. There is a natural remedy I have for it. It's called UTI free it contains pure d-Mannose. I'm sure it will be fine to take but I will check with my Dr. next week.

I bought a pill box that has 28 little boxes on it. It is meant for  morning noon, evening and bed. It has 7 across for each week. I put each whole day in one box, )instead of morning eg.) then I can fill the thing for a whole month. I put my AD's, nexium etc that I need for that day. Sometimes John has to fill it, b/c I am not doing too well, or I wait until I am. It works great and counts the pills out for the whole month! Too easy to forget if left to my own devises!

I tried one of those monday to sunday boxes but they couldn't hold all my pills from everything else. I ended up putting all my bottles into a large bucket (its not real butter) and every morning I would take my pills and turn the bottles over. Over the day I would check the bucket to make sure they were all turned over. After supper I would take my second pills of the day and turn them upright again. I would check before bed to make sure they were all upright. This was the only way to make it the second treatment around. And I wouldn't worry if I missed a time or two, its in your blood, its all good.

maybe you should get a bigger box as you have many months to go??

1 or 2 pills out of 1800 will not mean a hill of beans in this crazy mixed up world.

you will not overdose from it.

I always have pills left. They ship me 210 every 28 days. I take 7/day. I have 14 left at the end of each month. I tried counting my pills once when I couldn't remember if I had taken them. It was FUTILE !! Waaay too confusing.

1 or 2 pills isn't going to matter in the long run. Don't miss that shot though.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I have not missed a shot.
