Meds Finally Here! YIKES!!!!!

LOL...yeah, be careful what you wish for huh? and i was complaining about a hold-up...the Alinia is being delivered too ...anyway, I guess I gotta squirrel some away for a rainy day right? they deliver a month's worth at a time..guess I'm going to pre-load with the alinia for about a week anyway, that way I can tell if it's going to give me any sides, etc...if they do too much, might rethink taking it...also to distinguish which sides are from what, etc...so, I have to find out how to give myself shots, is there an online place I can see a video? think there is...also maybe get a lesson...also have to figure out when I should take my shot...have bad insomnia sometimes so I'd like to take the riba earlier then later...better go do some deep breathing, HA HA HA HA!

How many of you dudes had your wife give you your shots?  Mines a nurse.  I guess it would be one of those times they could stick it to you.

Hey There - I love getting my meds delivered. My Enbrel comes in a real nice little cooler and even after 4 years I still use every ice pak they have delivered. (I carry an ice bag with me everywhere I go to have my juice and water cold). I have a standing order to leave at my door without me being home but to always call and notify me so I don't forget them.

just went to the NP for my shot lesson...I was almost shaking when I had to practice on the pin cushion, I can't believe what a weenie I am! Just kept telling myself to grow up and do this! scheduled to start really soon now...don't worry, won't put it off another year or so...lol....

Willing: You know, I've heard what you said about going to the pharmacy and everything, but my people, the nurse, etc...said they are very good at delivering...the nurse calls ahead of time to find out when I'm going to be home, and then they call again to make sure, then call again once they are ready to deliver...then they came with a nice icepack, etc...so maybe this is okay...just the traffic is a little different then up in the trails where youre at:) but give me your take...maybe it's really important that I go get them....

Wow gal, been busy and away. Glad i checked in and saw this post... me thinks we all have that sick feelings in our tummys when were about to start. No matter what we say, won't help much, just knowing its time makes the nerves go crazy.

You have alot of people pulling for you (me included). Since i've been here never seen you back down from a fight or a debate. Summin tells me you will get the last word in against HCV also:):)

Wishing you only the best girl. And don't forget to eat ICECREAM.
canny man still pushing his icecream
