Re: TCH Revisited
I found the side effects to be cumulative, I won't lie. My biggest issue at first was lack of appetite. Later I got very painful legs and joints. I remember writing in my journal "fatigue owns me". But we are all different and have varied reactions. I never was nauseous, for instance. I did need Neuelsta shots. My TCH was stopped after 4 due to encroaching neuropathy. Your journey will be different probably. Whatever happens, keep the faith.
