Hope you get approval to continue with the drug.
Yesterady got my first "flushing s/e" Whoo boy that was fun- NOT. It was described to me as a mild redness and heat sensation "...much like a mild sunburn"
HaHa I got prickly/tingles at first & then got really hot. Felt like I had actually burned my face and neck. Skin turned lobster red, like I had fallen asleep on the beach. I used cold wet towel and just sucked it up. {well truth be told we joked about it and I whined a bit}
Got it again later in the evening. Tummy pains off & on but not bad; sort of like a GI bug can give you pains. The plus side is it's hep the C problems
All in all, it's still not too bad a trade off.
