Nice view, Hoodie!

I remember treatment brain fog. It's different than my normal forgetfulness.  I was almost convinced that it would never go away, that I was permanently damaged by Sovaldi and Ribaviron.  Ha! We refuse! Accept no defeat! 

 

Nathan,

While it is really important to stay on schedule, you are well into treatment.  I think most people have messed this up more than once and have come out just fine. Breathe deeply and reset.

Nathan please listen to Tig and try to relax around this situation. Youre going to be fine. I had a similar situation where I thought I actually doubled up on my pills. I really shouldve counted my pills before taking what I mistakenly thought was the second one. Brain fog surely sucks, I think will be free of it very soon. Im sure there will be a recovery process after EOT. But I for one am looking forward to healing my brain and other bodily systems that have been attacked for decades. Without the virus lots of healing will take place and we will be better than ever, trust me

PS: we are almost exactly at the same phase of our treatment I have 16 pills left of a 12 week round of Epclusa. Thanks be to God. Amen.

No, it shouldn’t cause any problems, in my opinion. Never take two because you missed one, that’s not recommended at all. Just continue on your established regimen and let your doctor or nurse know. There isn’t anything you can do to turn back the clock, so the best thing is to do as 5 mentioned, get a pill box and set an alarm. I used my phone and set two alarms for each dose. I had to take medication three times a day, and three weekly injections. Talk about a crazy schedule! With the brain fog we seem to experience, it’s vital to set an alarm, to assure you never miss another dose.

call the pharmacy asap, and the doctor.... you might be able to take todays pill earlier... you are well into tx at least.

that is the nightmare we have all faced...... did i remember my pill today.

do you have a little weekly pill box , that helped me a lot.

i'm sure you will be ok; but the phone call will help

Any ideas if it'll mess up my program or not ?

I've taken like two bottles so far n like 4 tabs onto my third bottle ,

so should be kinda safe i think .

I've still got like 23 tablets left so missing one day shouldn't effect me too much should it ?
