One drug less on my prescription! I picked up my latest batch of meds today--and no incivek! Yay! However, my out-of-pocket expenses are still exactly the same as they were. That means that I did not pay a dime for my 3 months of incivek--and that is about $48000 of meds! Whatever my insurance did not cover was taken care of by the manufacturer. Of course that confirms my suspicion that despite having been approved by FDA almost exactly a year ago, this treatment is still pretty damn experimental. If tentacles start growing out of my ears I'll let you know.
Went to the cheery lab vampires to squeeze out several tubes of blood. Blood cell counts, etc; viral loads (if detectable), thyroid function. The results should be in by Wednesday--I am waiting with bated breath and on the verge of blacking out. If they are good, perhaps I will allow myself that half-a-beer I've been craving lately. Yeah: the other day Erin was having a beer and I took a sip of it. (Mind you: it was a very tasty beer, yet I am reasonably sure the same thing would have happened with Coors Light). Anyway it tasted SO GOOD I nearly fucking cried! I still have 12 to 36 weeks ahead of me until I can actually have a couple of my own! AIYEEEE!!! Everyone will be invited to that one; I'll let you know the details as they develop.
And, finally, the rashes are nasty. Lots of them bled last night. Once more, they are supposed to start getting better after this weekend. Huh! They'd better!!!
