Piqray 250 was working well until my scratchy throat was diagnosed as Covid the day after thanksgiving. I wasn’t feeling too poorly but I had no one to talk to because of the weekend. On Monday, the ONC who was consulted in my regular doctor’s absence, said to go ahead with my Piqray. The next day, I got a notice in my portal that my ONC says to stop Piqray fo4 7 days. Ugh, I didn’t want to hear that! People here have shared that they have Piqray withdrawal pains ….and then there’s the return to Piqray with all its loading problems. I’m thinking of taking half doses during my Covid time…admittedly my ONC is not very familiar with Piqray symptoms and withdrawal effects.
Is anyone out there who had to suspend their Piqray due to a viral infection?
Did you have withdrawal symptoms ?
I don’t want to undermine my oncologist’s directions but she only has 2 patients 9n oiqray and may not be well versed in how the drug behaves….or misbehaves 🙄.
thank you in advance…and BTW I was just two days away from getting my Covid vaccine 🤨. And I’m not taking paxlovid because I dint take it last January and recovered quickly while my husband stayed sick for days after.
best wishes!🙏❤️🩹
