Shot #1

Hey everybody, just wanted to let you know that I did

my first short,

on the second round of treatment, Friday night. It was harder than I

remembered. I woke up about 3 hours later aching all over and running

a fever of 103. I know that the first shot is one of the hardest and

this one really knocked me out. I spent all day yesterday in bed,

achy and not feeling good at all. I'm up today and still having a

hard time, the nausea has started. I was supposed to be on Zophran,

but my insurance wouldn't fill it without pre-authorization from my

doc, so I will have to give him a call in the morning and let him call

them. I don't understand insurance sometimes, it seems like they have

to much control over a persons well being. The doc called in the

prescription, and why would he do that if I didn't need it. Oh well,

just venting. Just wanted to let everyone know how it went.

Zophran is extremely expensive and most insurances will only cover 15-20 pills a month unless your doctor appeals . There is now also a generic form of zophran which works just as good ..

This was the generic form, he prescribed 60 pills and they were $1497.99. Thanks for the info, maybe I can get him to change it to 15-20 pills.
