Great news I hope you have success do keep us updated it will be an interesting journey for you and I hope you get the same success that I have had if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask ....
It's interesting to see the cost of the tablets..... Is what you have for prescription similar to our UK prepayment system where you can have as many drugs as you need for a fixed price ...
Thanks for coming back I will follow with great interest  Thumb

Jim, here you can get what's called a Drug Payment Scheme Card, which basically means that, on a calender monthly basis, you can't be charged more than €144 for prescription medicine if you apply for the card. As far as I'm aware, everyone is entitled to it. We have something called Medical Card, which would cover the cost of all your medical needs. I'm going to apply for one on the basis of the cost of the medication, but I doubt I'll get it, seeing as I work.

Looks good to me Ccar !
Remember. Slowly build up. It takes a long time before it starts working, so if you don't immediately see results, just go on and don't be disappointed.
Take the pill(s) with a bit of yoghurt, right after your meal, or take them during your meal.
Did you have a measurement done of your lymphocytes at least?
You'll get flushes,don't worry it's normal and is a signal that threre is a reaction.

If you have questions, just ask, we will be here and follow you.

Thanks Caroline! I know it's not necessarily quick results, so I'll be patient! I'm hoping that it won't take too long to see some results though :-)
I forgot about the yoghurt part, but I did take it with food this evening (my first tablet, since I'm starting on 1-a-day)
I got tests done back in October, but I was only told everything looked good, not exact measurements I'm afraid. I should have asked, even just for my own knowledge. I'm back in 6 weeks, so I'll ask then!
Flushes I can handle, I'm not worried about them. I'm just hoping that the cramps and ... other stomach problems will be minimum, though if it works, it's a small price to pay for clearer skin.
Thanks for all the helpful advice! I'll let you know how I'm getting on!
