Hi Miriam, I moved this discussion to similar discussion that @ritapearl started a few months earlier where she asked "I am beginning the “big three” therapy what should I expect?" In addition to the responses you've already received from fellow members, you may appreciate going back through the earlier response too, starting here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/starting-mac-drugs/

What questions, if any, are still weighing on your mind?

Hi Colleen
Thank you for your thoughts. Right now I am getting all my baseline test done. I will start in February. My id doctor will start one med at a time to see how i tolerate them. Also we discussed taking them all at night. She wants to wait and see how i do with taking them during day. I also take Synthroid so we will need to take this one first.
My biggest concern is going to be stomach issues because i have them now. Reading the suggestion of others is very helpful. Its good to hear that some of you did well and others found solutions to managing the side effects. It gives me hope.
Definitely will keep updating as i begin this journey.
Again thanks. Miriam
