You use to not have energy to do.

Hi Neil,

Congratz on getting to the end! 48 weeks of Victrelis triple is no picnic. Recover quickly, but be patient. Good luck for the VL's to come. Cheers.

Well said Neil. Congratulations!! I have no idea how you did this without setting alarms. I would probably have slept through half of my doses.

What a great feeling, Neil, Cindy too!  The victrelis triple is very demanding with so many pills to take daily, and it must be a challenge just to keep up with them, never mind the sx on top!

Take some time out for rest and recuperation now, well done!!�biggrin

Not an issue as I didn't use them during Tx. Maybe 3 times I set alarm when my timing was off

so I could get up at 2:30.

This afternoon I did catch myself looking to see what time my next meds were....lol.

Today was the first day in 11 months I didn't have to get up to take pills to start the day.

17 pills a day was hell plus the weekly shot. To all the members starting Tx, just remember

that it is doable and perseverence will get you to the end.

Good luck to all !!
