Good morning APKhaos

Hey APK,

I hope you are just waking up from a good night's sleep!! Hopefully, your sleep issues are starting to improve.  Does that mean the rash is as well?

So, I go for my my Day 85 pk visit on Monday.  Pam's last day was this past Monday.  I was so surprised....they gave her 4 months worth of riba and peg.  I wonder if that's standard.  I guess it doesn't matter really to us one way or another but that just seems like a lot of meds to dispense at once.  I'm betting I'll only get a month at a time.  Can I ask how did your study group handle the dispensing of meds?  It sounds like your study does things completely "by the book", so it's nice to have you to bounce things off of.  That kinda sounds like I think mine doesn't and I don't mean to say that at all.  I'm gonna stop now before I put my foot any further into my mouth.  lol

Thanks, Char

I get 3 months worth of meds at one time. I don't know what will happen in May when I go on Medicare. I hope I have continuity of care.

Hey Pam. The county road squad managed to cut a major cable feeder, so we've just got net connection restored a few minutes ago. A day without network is surprisingly productive :-)

I understand that all subjects are getting four months supply of Peg + Copeg at the Day 85 session. I was surprised too. Even suggested that they give me a month at a time, but they insited that Vertex wanted four months supply dispensed. Who knew??
