I started a new injectable drug today to help normalize acute hormonal problems. The drug is very very expensive and scarce but thankfully covered by my insurances. I am Canadian, but for this type of drug, it would've been a battle to get approval from my provincial government to cover the cost, was I not insured. I didn't answer well to another, so I had to resort to this last resort option.
I received an extra strong dose today and the company nurse showed me how to prepare the drug, it's a bit of an hassle but it doesn't look complicated. It means daily injections administered by myself or my wife, for years and years to come.
The nurse starts telling me about the potential symptoms, and told me it can even include death. Fortunately I had no trouble at all with the solution, it seems to offer me quite a bit of relief. I was happy, as I need it to avoid potentially dangerous consequences in the future.
Due to this hormonal imbalance I have felt extremely lethargic for years and years. Picture you've awakened two minutes ago, only that you feel as groggy and tired at all. Or that you've just had 30 minutes of jogging. That's how I feel all day, every day. I hope it can curb that effect. From what I have read on the form I have signed, I am the 90th patient in the world who takes this. I didn't want to partake in their follow-up program, as I know it is about accumulating data about you and selling it in anonymous form, but I realized there is no way to obtain this drug without sending data to the company so I'll probably cede.
I'm very thankful my wife is such an understanding and supportive person and that she married me and I was able to have two splendid young children with her in spite of knowing about my ailment, and in spite of the sedentary life I have to live due to these ongoing problems. God really blessed me beyond my wildest hopes.
