meds left @ 150 F for 5 days

I went to Orlando for 5 days and (dumb me!) I completely shut the air conditioning
off in the house before I left!

When I came back last nite the house was soo hot it must have been 125 F degrees!
All my meds were in here...do you think they are still good? I'm worried about taking them if they are not good no more since I just started theraphy a month ago.
(Peginterferon-Ribavirin).

On the brighter side I managed 5 days of walking the Orlando theme parks succesfully!

I have a question for you.  Why wasn't the Peg in the refrigerator?  If it was in the fridge, it would be fine.  The Riba, I think might still be good. Check with the pharmacist.

I thought the Peg doesn't need to be refrigerated(?)

[giddyup]

Do you mix the peg before you do your shot? (vs a prefilled vial) If so, I don't think that it needs to be refrigerated. The riba doesn't have to be refrigerated. If it makes you feel better check with the pharmacetjical company or your pharmacist.

[doll face]

I would definately check with the pharmacist. On the instructions that come with your meds it say to store in a cool dry place 80 degrees. You might get lucky and it will still be okay if not see if they will replace it. I used to get mine sent UPS and had to be here to recieve it because it had to be refridgerated. Even the kind that I had to mix myself said it recommends refridgeration. Good luck to you.

[scruffy]

Peg-intron that you mix needs no refrigeration. Read the info that comes with the peg and see if it gives a temperature range-I thought it did but my memory sucks. You can check their websites and look for info also. frank

[scruffy]

Just found some info. The Redipen should be stored at 36 deg f to 46 deg f.(Refrig.} The little bottles that you mix have an "excursion" range of 59 deg f to 86 deg f. I assume you have the little bottles like I did or you would have mentioned the Redipen? Anyway this info should be on that long info sheet that comes with your peg-intron. frank

[scruffy]

Riba same temp range 59f to 86f. May be a good idea to get replacement drugs if you can. frank

Hey Deano,

Naah, I just stand on my head alot to turn those frowns upside down & fake it real well... & all that blood rushing to your head makes you kind of zing.... Ha!

WoW... that's some timezone difference.. it was like 8:00 a.m. here when I posted... (not real sure really cause I didn't look) but I think when I get up to Alaska we'll be 12 hrs different???? Hummm... see now you gave me another adventure, & I'll get to research Aussie today... because that will drive me nuts not knowing the time Zone difference... plus it will help me keep my mind off of Dennis & my family... I'm worried about them.

I'm full of beans too... only I consumed to many & exploded by means of internal combustion! LoL

Hey, I still have a long ways to go... surely they can't be that slow about getting you started over there.. Shish! I hated all that waiting, & not knowing, drove me bonkers.

I'm hanging in there dude.... glad you are feeling better.... Just got my 12 week labs back recently & was undetectable this time.... so I am just elated, & feeling pretty estatic about that.

I hope that your biopsy turns out okay, & that it reveals little to no damage like mine. Hopefully your TX will optional like mine ... (BOTH Times) so you know I just did this because I was bored & wanted to hang out with you guys for little while & make ya smile!

Just Kidding, Anyway Because I cleared early this round... I could probably feasibly stop at 48.... but after relapsing last time... I kind of don't want to take any chances & will go the full 72

Tell them folks to hurry up because we need ya to help chase the gloom & doom away... It's gonna be a LONG Year.

Good Night Deano, Sweet Dreams, & Don't Let The Bed Bugs Bite Cha... Or any Rattlesnakes either! I'm going back to bed myself... I have been up since 5:00, & didn't sleep well at ALL Last night because some witch was flying around my house on her broom!

[dndfunnel]

[Bill1954]

Hi there, Dean:

I've been curious as to your pen name  - dndfunnel is quite fascinating. After you mentioned Taipan stew and BBQ Roo, I finally realized that you've been munching on deep-fried funnel web spiders! Hence the name sake! Be careful, my friend; if you keep it up, you won't be around to enjoy HCV.....Seriously, take care, and good luck with your biopsy results.

Bill

[bon_vivant]

Haa, Haa.... Is THAT were that came from... Funnel Spiders??

LMAO well well isn't ol Deano Pretty Clever...
even if he does have a strange appitite....

Those Aussie's are a pretty fasinating bunch of folks any way!

Tee Hee.... he's dreaming away while we talk about him... Ha!
;)

[dndfunnel]

[dndfunnel]

the funnel comes from where i live on a lovely freshwater ck (running)crystal clear with fish n platypuss amongst the rain forest on a range (gods country)-funnel creek. winter here at the moment but somer is great for swimming.you guys make me laugh!lynda the doc was giving me panadien forte and i was eating them like lollies-no good for ya.tramal-tramadol gets rid of aches n pains but you have to be careful not to have with anti-deppresants n some medications .xxxxxxxxxxxxxxdean

Then come back & tell us more about these drugs your on!
;)

[Bill1954]

He may be snoozing, but what do you want to bet his ears are burning a little, huh?

[bon_vivant]

LoL... Sure I don't like it when folks start disappearing around here... makes you wonder if they are doing okay, or in the hospital or something.

Sounds interresting there... I call Alaska Gods Country because it's just so beautiful.... I swear I could LIVE There & Never want to leave...

I ate so much seafood & local cuizine there that I actually gained 5 lbs when I was there... but of-course on this TX it didn't stay on.... I've lost a total of 20 altogether so far.

Did have a hard time locating some fresh dill because the samon were running & it's tourist season... LoL

I am determined to get to Aussie one day.... I have always been fascinated by the beauty, & culture there. The Accents too... Ha! I want to go into the OUTBACK too... I LUVED my wildlife tundra tour up in Denoli.

Hey.... question... what if you need anti-depressants during TX.... not everyone needs them, but I did, & take Zoloft... but what are your options?
:)

[bon_vivant]

Now You Are Sleeping... LoL

I don't wanna get up... been pouring rain for about 14 hrs straight, & that's when I do my best sleeping.

Zero at midnight huh, I wondered how cold it got there.

These drugs can make the emotions run high, & make us more sensative to things.... Not everybody has a need for anti-depresants, & some have actually said that the natural green herb helped them tremendously, Some don't even need that.

It's Easy enough to figure out... I knew I needed & or needed adjustments to Anti-depressants when I would be driving down the road & start crying for NO reason... or get aggitated & start driving aggressively.. the mood swings were like Hot N Cold.. plus I am a little dislexic which doesn't help.... LoL

Stay warm over there!
:)
P.S. As per praying... sure, Absolutely...
I started praying more than ever since I have been on tx, my faith got me thru some very difficult times!

[dndfunnel]

hope i dont have to.maybe go with natural green herbs to take my mind off it.how will i know?does the mind play games when your on med tx.time 2 post a comment some news today.did you pray for me or what?xxx
