Changing shot day

deleted_user

My GI nurse is clueless so I'm asking you guys before I do this. I was talked into taking the shot on Fridays so the worst symptons would be on the weekend and I then could work the rest of the week. DAMM why do I listen to doctors. I want to change my shot day from Friday late afternoon to Sunday afternoon, the GI nurse said its OK. This is shot 5 of 48, she says to chage it to Saturday this week from Friday, then to Sunday the following week. I would rather stop TX than give up my weekend rides with my wife, ain't no way my bike is sitting for the summer. Opinions please before I make up my mind as what to do. THANK YOU

Your nurse is correct. You can move it forward but not backwards...

I say the same as everyone else. Enjoy the weekends if you can still handle the week days. I know the wheather is getting nice now and it's hard to stay indoors while the rest of the world is out there living it up. Enjoy what you enjoy doing. I wish I had done things differently while I was on TX....Joni

I agree with changing your shot day. I take my shot on Tuesday, and by the weekend, I usally feel pretty normal, maybe just a bit more tired. It is nice to have the weekend to share with your spouse, and have a bit of fun, then to be down the whole weekend, that is just my 2 cents.

Wow bro... thanks for posting this!

I have now given a lot of thought into when I should take my first shot!

My hubby works the weekends so it will be important for me to be feeling as good as possible on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays. My kids will need me on weekends to be involved in things and drive them places.

Plus, if I do shots Mondays my hubby will be home to take care of me ...if I do get real sick.

I wouldn't want that responsability to be put onto my girls!

Thanks for making me think this out!

Go ride that bike...Enjoy those weekends. I know I'm going to be glad I didn't start treatments on Fridays!

Yeehaaawwww... If weekends have always been the highlight of ones life...WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD WE WRECK THAT!
