Changing shot times

Has anyone changed from evening shots to late afternoon or morning shots? I was wondering if and how they felt doing it...Thanks Dyanna

And yes, I had to do riba twice, so they could have brought it with my later dose, but normally they made me do it earlier.  Dunno why.  I just figured if you get it on Friday, what difference does it make, really?  Other than symptom wise.

I was in the hospital every other Friday on treatment and they made me do it during the day (my own freakin' shot that I brought on ice to the hospital mind you because they didn't have it in their formulary).  And I had to fight them to give it to myself because hey, it's the hospital, liability, all that jazz.  (Can you tell I have control issues).  Usually the nurses just agreed that we would let me do it and say they did it.  I just loved the nurses.

Anywho, morning or middle of the day I got the damn things, with my other meds.  But it didn't matter so much because they also switched my oral demerol or shots of demerol.  Which just made everything SOOOOO much better.

Oh right.  And I got SVR and all that.

Really? I was worried about that also. Thanks for your input. I think I really will just stick it out and continue the evening shots.

I don't believe moving the time forward by a few hours will cause much difference.
