Good luck. I know we are all different, but it really did not bother me much, and I feel as though it was probably the best oral I have taken. My LLMD did remind me not to skip any doses. climber

It was a little rough in the beginning but I hung in there for two months. You can do it ! Start slow.

Just started it about a week and a half ago. Its definately hitting something because the first few days were rough...lots of joint pain and just feeling crappy. I went up to full dose already and seem to doing alright. The hardest part is figuring out when to take it, anybody got advice on that? I've been taking it an hour before lunch and then a couple hours before bedtime....starting to think i should just do one dose early in the morning so my stomach is completely empty. Any body take it once a day?

I wish you the best. It was hard the first couple days on it, if I remembered right, and then only felt better on it.
It was one of my best abx.
