Different med company

[Deb_c430]

I just recieved my infergen for the month,  my same guy always delivers it and we always share a joke when he delivers. For awhile it seemed  every time he came it snowed.  The last couple of times it has been sunny and beautiful!  That is a good thing.

But I digress,   Todays infergen was from a different drug company,  

The old company was InterMune,  this is now Valeant. They are other wise exactly the same...

I don't mind the change, as long as it still works.  But am confused because I have a nurse from this company who is a much better support than  my GIs.

Guess I need to call and ask.

Has this happened to anyone else?  

Kind of annoyed!

Thanks as always for your help!

thanks Mom, I called and talked to nurse and she told me that.   So silly to panic about that stuff,   I guess right now i don't like those kind of changes!

Intermune sold the rights to infergen to Valeant.  There is still only one approved Infergen.

The NY blizzard of the late nineties did me in.. I had enough.

Shut up to all the people who haven't seen snow since the 90s (ahem *cough* looking at you Charm!) I am so jealous I just saw my eyes turn green!!!!!!!!

You darn Florida people - got the life I tell you, got the life!  

If I could get outta living up here in the most expensive place in the entire friggin' world where you can't afford to barely eat McDonalds 'cause everything else is so high...AND it gets a negative thirty wind chill in the winter...AND we also get the 105 with 100% humidity in the summer.......................................................................................................................................................I'd be your next door neighbor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGH! Why don't you rub it in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)  Love you just teasing you know!

Ice packs are importante! Im saving them for hurricane season!! Thats one of the perks of tx!! Soon we will be getting a lunatic coupon from the drug company on our next
purchase of Riba. haha

Have a great day Deb

I am saying! Look ice packs are important,  maybe we can use the news ones for decorating our igloos!  

Oh snow is white and it is evil!  People say oh snow is so pretty! PPFTTT beneath it lurks the devil! Black ice!  I can say this, having woke 6 weeks later after hitting in DC!

Its hard to accept change I think being on tx. Our feelings and emotions are so outta whack! You'll get use to it.

Snow??? Whats snow?? havent seen snow since the 90's!!


Hang in there Deb!!
Its all the same poison unfortunately.

Different ice pack now thats a problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hOW DARE THEY!!  HAAA

[Deb_c430]

Lol stop it!  Silly woman!  Let em play games, SOS. Got boring to me a long time ago.
So not worth it.   Personally I do not care,    if being nasty  is their answer, who cares?
They are on my disregard list!  

Oh even the ice pack  is different, it is still cold though!     I may save these.   Might come in handy later!  

Yes I am calling now,   I hate when things like that change,  my meds are important, and what if it is that inth degree that has a bit more of this and less of that, That made me UND!

Think they should notify you of stuff like that! So people like me and charm don't freak!

Sighs

Dear Pack Member - Co Leader,

They switched several of my meds over the course of my treatment from one to another - of course it wasn't as drastic as Infergen, I don't think it could matter as long as it's the same stuff of course.........but yeah it would make me nervous too.

Call and ask, I sure would.
