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!

Good Luck. You can go on line type in Pegasys video and you can see how to administer shots. Thats how I learned.

Hope its a minimal sx journey!

It isnt that bad the 1st shot, you'll be surprised how easy it is.
Now that i have said that, my nurse made me sit thru some video demonstrating how to do the injection. I was somewhat over confident (it was my 2nd Tx after all) and I thought the video was was quite boring and didnt pay much attention.
Just as well the nurse was there cause I would have messed it up.
Couldnt figure out how to hold the needle one handed.
But once you get used to it easy as Pie.

I have finally collected most of the Pills on HRs list. Just got to pick up the Resveratrol and i can tell ya i am pretty nervous about starting. Weird ay. I am just not a Pill person.
Although I probably am something that rhyms with pill.

Enjoy the ride

Forsee...wow...launch time!!  I wish you all the best....you just need to *breathe* a bit...you know all this stuff....you'll sort it out.  I wish you all the best!!!  We really ARE starting about the same time.  :)

Mikki....if you're going to plan a CA gathering...if I manage to make it to San Diego end of April to visit my son, hopefully we could do one then?  It would be a BLAST to meet up with all the CA folks who are able.  I'll let you know when it gets closer if I'm going to make it down and we'll see how it goes?

Cocksparrow, are you starting up now also?  You've been through this before, yes?
