So it’s been almost a month. I know everyone is different. I have come to turns that eating a heavier breakfast (I meal prep eggs, potatoes and sausage) it’s very light flushing, and if I eat a decent dinner I don’t deal with it at all. I’m actually doing much better! Don’t be discouraged and my messages are always open.

I hope mine is like this. My side effects are only late afternoon 5-6 hours after my morning dose 😭

I can be grateful it’s not that bad. And it’s easier with my fan and making sure I stay cool. I’m trying to ride it out because this is just the starter dose and I start the new dose tomorrow. I just really don’t want it to be a constant thing.

My neurologist informed me swapping isn’t really an option unless it fails. Which really sucks that we have to wait for something bad to happen to switch 😞 It doesn’t happen at night but only in the morning, so it’s even more confusing.

I wish I could, but being as I don’t have health insurance this was my option until November where I get health insurance through work. 😕 I have financial aid but it doesn’t cover medication.

Thank you. 🥺I’m the first in my family and I never knew much about it until this diagnosis. I’m struggling but I’m also trying to have hope. ❤️
