Starting the meds in the morning

I just wanted to know how I will feel tomorrow, I am going to start the incivek and the ribo in the morning. Then I will have to do the incived again in the afternoon. I was just wondering because I am a 5th grade teacher and I have three classes of kids that are very challenging.

You go girl! A little cup of coffee goes a long way after lunch. Luckily, that's when many students have a bit of sluggishness too.  Well, sometimes. lol. I teach hs, but my granddaughter is in 5th grade and wants to lay in front of the tv in the afternoons.
You probably instruct in all of the core subjects. Can you plan afternoon for what is easiest for YOU to do? Or vice versa depending on where ur nrg levels are..
As a fellow teacher, let me say I'm proud of you. You're a positive person and your students will get some benefit even on your worst days just by being with you. I won't kid you, it's tough at times. I hope your se go ez on you. Mine weren't that overwhelming til blood worked dropped. More of a nuisance.
I'm on the same schedule as you are except I take shot at 10 PM. I found power shakes n a bag of nuts helpful 20 minutes prior to afternoon PI. I always get chatty just before bedtime dose. Sry. I WILL hold you in my heart n thots tomorrow.
Oh, and I have my bag packed and keys in hand when that last bell rings as much as possible. Good luck and message me anytime. xo Karen :)

I can't speak for incevik, so no idea for that one.  It really is difficult to predict how you will feel, even after the Inf shot since symptoms vary so much for each person.  I didn't feel the Riba until after the 2nd week other than felling slightly jittery and a little nauseous.  I also felt nothing right after the Inf shot, I was told to do the shot an hour or two before bed so you can sleep through the sides, but I've been lucky with that one.  After about 3 weeks or so I began to feel the Riba more each day.  

Be sure to not miss any doses and try to drink lots of water.  Good luck getting the ball rolling.

You may have a little nausea, and as joe said the incivek makes me tired for a little bit after taking it as well. That good you are waiting to take your first shot until after school, I just did my second yesterday and the first was worse but not something that I would let scare you, it was easily tolerable just take some tylenol before you take it.

The incevik makes me tired about 1 hour after I take it, but goes away after that. Are you taking your shot before school? Joe
