Can suppliments and other meds effect SOC?

Ahhhh, quite a pack of pills, huh? Sorry to hear you have so many pre tx afflictions. I have/had migraines big time on tx. Darvocet didn't cut it. Some take imitrex or fiorcet w/ codiene like me. These aren't so harsh on the liver I am told. I would keep in reserve, if needed. Steriods are really not good on tx. I understand you have RA. Is this for the RA?...

It has happened several times to others on the forum. I quit driving as I just didn't feel safe. There were times I did feel safe enough to drive down the mtn. I live about a mile up a windy road. Many times, I didn't feel safe to drive on tx. So I didn't. Luckily, I had someone who could drive me to appt's and the lab etc. I sure hope you aren't alone and h...

Your counts look good, especially those enzymes! I bet you are feeling really fatigued about now going down over 3 pts in your HGB. This is a lot of dropping. You may want to get a booster for your HGB. Although it is a good number now, the drop was significant and can cause extreme anemia. Of course, we usually want anemia around 3-4 weeks, we don't have t...

Hi Guy!!! I was hoping you would pop in here! I was going to mention your name in my post and didn't. You were the person I wanted to say tried Neulasta as I did. We always joked and were perturbed at the Ads on Neulasta on the forum, then the TV commericals, we would yell at the TV, "NO, don't do it!" Lol. Funny now, but it sure wasn't then. At least ...

Yeah, it is the same thing...dunno! I know HR recommends it, so I ordered it. I only opened one bottle. I think I need to find that post where HR talks about which supps are the best! Taking pills for 20+ minutes is too much! That flax seed oil capsule must be 3/4 inch long! I was lucky to get it down my throat! LOL Okay, I have never been a vitamin pe...
