no no sweeite pie...i mean WAIT and call the doctor....maybe on friday.....even tommorrow, before hes off for new years eve....you do NOT NEED HER PERMISSION....SIMPLY TELL HER YOU WISH FOR HIM HIM HIM TO RETURN THIS URGENT CALL.....NOT HER!!! SHE CAN NOT INTERFER WITH THAT!!!!!...take your damn meds..don't stop!!! got it girlie...your on the right track and all is well with the universe...except of course with your NURSE RATCHET
On behalf of nurses everywhere, I apologize that you had to meet up with one of my bitchy sisters....
The next time you get a face to face meeting with your doc, tell him/her exactly what Evil Nurse did and said to you, add in that you are not a child and in need of punishment, that you expect and deserve timely returns to your phone calls when dealing with medications like these. Tell your doc that you may have to consider changing your physician group if something like this happens again. And start looking for real, in the meantime, because there is no reason to take that kind of ****.
Seriously, I would make a few calls and go so far as to book an initial appt. somewhere else to discuss transferring care. This "nurse" will be with you for the duration of your treatment, and I doubt she will improve with time. You can switch docs while on tx, don't let anyone hold you hostage like that. YOU ARE THE BOSS, NOT HER, NOT YOUR DOC, NOT ANYONE ELSE. YOU ARE THE HEALTH CARE CONSUMER, AND IT IS YOUR INSURANCE MONEY THAT IS PAYING. Stand up for yourself and don't let some catty ***** make you feel like ****.
Go get 'em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry that you had a bad experience at the Doctor's. I am also sorry that you insisted on venting throughout this thread that I started.
I NEED INFORMATION. I don't need to wade throught your tyrade from the "nurse that hurt my feelings" and the ten paragraphs that come with it.
Please be considerate to others and rant on your own thread, or fire up AOL and get a chat buddy you can vent on.

I have to say, that there are limited threads available here. That is why people sometimes add their questions onto others. Perhaps in your "important" case, this got out of hand.
Most of us read every thread, every comment for just that reason. To be sure that there isn't something we could offer or a new insight to be given.
I didn't comment on your "important" thread, because you DID get several comments from SVRs with common sense advice. The truth is that there is NOTHING magical that SVR's do or don't do. You simply have to take your meds, take care of yourself, limit exposure to alcohol and nicotine, be careful of possibly hepatotoxic medications, drink plenty of fluids, work hard, play nice, and try to enjoy life and keep a positive attitude. The chips will fall where they may, and you will get an SVR if it is meant to be. If not, get right back in there and try again.
Took my husband 2 tries at therapy to finally become an SVR. Long struggle, and no magic or "thing" he did at all. Just persistance and faith that it would some day happen.
