When I was on treatment, I was practically in bed for the whole 8 months. I often had to crawl to the bathroom and I would sit on the floor in the shower. I couldn't stand up for very long and was afraid to fall in the bathroom, or anywhere else for a matter of fact. At times I wasn't even able to turn in bed, for hours. It had both to do with being extremely weak and the brain sometimes not being able to command the limbs to move. Trying to work through the brain fog was very hard at times.
I don't fondly look back to those months. I suffered incredibly much from the meds, sometimes I can't believe how I even made it through tx.
I hope your fiancée is not going to feel that bad, but in any case, be prepared. You are a good man going all the way over there to take care of her. She might get cranky and irritated, please don't hold that against her. The meds can make you become a pain in the neck, really.
All the best to you both! And here's to a big fat SVR at the end!!!
Cost of $30 - $40 is nothing regards to expense of the medication.
Symptoms of being shaky walking to the bathroom and back feeling as if your legs do not have the strength to hold your body you will not consider twice about the cost of $30 - $40
Just like "alagirl" above stated look how she suffered shaking dropping dishes with her hands, the same applies to your legs too and you do not want to get up and walk to the fridge.
wow I was about ready to flip out on the INC thing !
Yes dave and what a pain that was, plus we had to enter everything on their palm.......... These people have it made...:)
during the trials for victrelis we had to keep it refrigerated all the time. After it was approved the information was changed to what his3707 provided above.
ust reading the patient info that came in the incivek "Welcome" packet and it says. Keep your incivek pills on the kitchen table or counter so you can remember to take them when you eat. Got a little nervious about having to get a fridge for the bedroom. Wow, I dont even have a tv in there. For sleeping only. And listening to some of the side effects probably nothing else for a while. LOL!! I just got the visual of alagirls son drinking his milk in the morning from a champagne glass. :)
