Do I start tomorrow?

[couchpotato]

My prescription for pegatron is waiting for me to pick up, do I start the riba tomorrow or wait to start them both on Friday when I plan to do the shots? I am nervous as hell.Seems to be ironic to be planning on starting on a course of tx that may make me sick when I feel excellent on a daily basis. Hope you all will be there for me.

I should remember all this stuff but seem to have brain fog even before starting!! I have a contact I can call, but thought I would reach out to all of you, as you know first hand. Anyway, I will start pills and then the shot this Friday. I have a problem with the water drinking. I am VERY often working where there is NO toilet! Now, in my drinking days, I was quite capable of dropping my drawers anywhere, but....... Gonna have to bring a potty with me??? Hmmmm, I'll figure it out as I KNOW it VERY important. Thanks, and nice to see you again OHC

start on the day and at the times you intend on sticking with for all of your tx months. start the peg and the riba at the same time.

if you have any doubts as to what the required times and dosages are contact your dr. asap! they should have already gone over all this with you...

don't change days or times unless absolutely necessary. and only on the advise of your GI.

did anybody keep a copy of the riba rage card? is that what was called a few months back? there hasn't been one issued in a long time...

and who was mama cat?

yea yea  ...write things down so i don't forget... what for? with all these able brains in the forum to remind me...

No one told me anything about the ribvarin so I brought it to my dr's with my first shot. The PA told me I should have taken it that morning, but starting in the evening would be ok. (Thanks for nothing!) Good luck and may your sides be minor and your virus clear early!

Hi CP
I remember yoy when I first came around. It will go quicker than you think. Good Luck to you and I hope your hubby can try again if it is correct for him.


GOD BLESS

Indiana, your post about Tx is excellent! Should be must reading for all newbies, like me. Thanks. CP, I just started 10 days ago and, though it hasn't been fun, its better that I expected. I drink lots of gatorade, and the Tylenol helped the first 3 days a lot. Good Luck To You!!!
