Am excited and scared at the same time, of course. No real side effects yet....did have to run to the potty one time unexpected. lololo This is a side effect that I have heard about. I felt achy last night but that has also subsided. My health insurance that I have through my company has EXCLUDED this drug. So I have started the 5 week start up program and then I believe I was told I can then get an additional six months of medication. What happens beyond that is unknown. That is what is so scary too! I am taking pictures and will post them as I get further into my treatment. Thanks for your support and any additional input!
Great news Angel . I can understand your emotions of excitement and both scared at the same time. It's a step into the unknown for you,
Great as well that the side effects so far are minimal, let's hope it stays that way.
I would guess after the funding runs out for the drug, the manufacturer will fight your corner as Matari has said
Cross that bridge as and when you come to it
Good luck
