Usually three times a week. A lot of hospitals have this. If you have trouble with your insurance, get a referral from your doc. You can't take any of the rheumatology drugs offered, because they are all HCV contraindicated. You can also get a referral to a chiropractor. Most insurance companies will cover that, depending on what state you are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no liver damage so I don't have to be QUITE as careful as most hcv'ers. Gives me some leeway. The Elavil seems to be helping. I'm also taking ginseng and ginkgo during the day to get me motivated. Antidepressants tend to depress me, ie, make me feel dull, blah and don't give a hoot, even the little bit of Elavil I'm taking, so with a little stimulant in the am, I seem to rebound ok. But a lot of the stiffness and constant aches and pains are almost eliminated. I still get them, but they don't seem as bad. On the weekends I don't take the ginseng, so that will be the true test. This weekend I start on the double Elavil for 7 days, then 3 Elavil at a time after that. Not sure how I'll do with it, as already I'm so groggy in the am hubby has to practically shove me out the bed! If I get unbearably groggy, I'll pull back on the Elavil. I've already started taking the pill earlier in the evening, like about 8pm, to let it flush out of my system by 7am. A few nites ago I didn't take it till about 11, I got so busy doing stuff, and hubby couldn't wake me up the next morning, left me in bed. I finally roused myself by 10am and got to work by noon. I was so embarrassed at work but what the hell, live and learn! come on friday come on friday alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
