Said:  He can taste the medicine immediately.

That will stop in a few weeks.  I don't know if the smell stops or if we just get used to it but there have been a LOT of conversations about it coming out of our pores and our pee and I remember that it drove me CRAZY I started using mouthwash and so much perfume ugh it was gross.

Now I don't notice it AT ALL and haven't in a very long time.

With the spinning it sounds like low hemo - are you having him have a weekly CBC to make sure he's not getting anemic?

Congrats on doing the first jab!  I was laughing so hard at your story because it was ME.  Except, I was a crying mess the entire DAY of my shot, until it was over.  Anyway, keep your sense of humor and you will be just fine!  Remember to come here for any support you need :)

Ha beagel , got my cbc's result yesterday ,hmg was 13.5 from base 15.5. This was after 3 weeks on the meds. I can feel the 2 point drop cause I'm fatigued more easily now, spacey ,but not real bad or bad enough to stop me. I've been working and getting some exercise but have slowed it down alot since starting tx. No dog traing , weight lifting just walking and doing stretching exercises now.Also been eatin red grapes and drinkin the red grape juice . Heard before red wine was good fer the blood,so maybe the grapes will help. The rest of the cbc's are in normal range.

  There's no doubt , the riba is rough on the body, so far no riba rash, but insomnia is one sx I could do whithout and after 8 hours at work it wears me out. The pegasus makes me feel like I got the flu and seems to hit the hardest sun and mon after doin the shot on friday nite which tonite I do shot 5 so here we go again.

Hope all are well, Dyce
