Alex,
I am sorry to hear that your not feeling very well. If you don't eat with the meds then yes the stomache does get upset especially with the steriods and the plaqs. Sometimes a dry cracker will help.

lalalola is right you will adjust to the blood work, it seems everytime I go to the doctor I am getting stuck. They have to use a baby needle with me or the vains collapse. They don't seem to hurt so bad either. Not sure if any of this helps you but thought I would share with you just in case.

Feel better soon.
Tammy
