He also said then that too few of his Ty users had reactions to merit premedication. I'll ask him about this at my next visit. It seems a bit odd to me.
Thanks for the update Joelle! Been thinking about you!

Now that's it been on the market for a longer period, they've seen these reactions and are going back to the original protocol. Just my thoughts on this...

Glad you are doing better Joelle and have had your second infusion.
Good post and good reminder! I had forgotten about this and now when I say it I will remember that it WAS in place at the beginning!

Happy to hear you finally got your infusion date Sheena! Please let us know how it goes!


Keri!,

This has gone beyond anything I could take. I would be screaming at everyone on the phone too! I hope you know we did what we could to bring you to the attention to the proper people. As Av8rgirl said- USE THOSE NUMBERS!

I did get a reply saying your info was being forwarded to someone who could help you, but obviously it hasn't worked if you haven't heard from them!
