    Hello
    a brief update…last post I was feeling rather anxious anticipating the arrival of the drugs..I was facing the reality of “what if I am slammed by side effects..what if I am sick the whole 12 weeks…etc…but there is only such much anxiety I can bare and now I am calm..just getting on with the day to day.

    I thought I would mention this process for anyone who is on the roller coaster of waiting for the drugs to arrive. The elation of empowerment..the fear and uncertainty..then the calm/acceptance. My drugs should arrive in the next few days. I am looking forward to clearing this virus and having energy, enthusiasm and a new lease on life.

    Hi Joan, I had a similar range of emotions and when the meds arrived on my doorstep I was quite detached..Oh, here they are…and popped them in my mouth. They sit in the hallway as a reminder, those 2 small plastic bottles worth $100,000!!
