s/e with powder vs. pre-filled syringes

ive found that the side effects (for me, at least) are alot worse withe the premixed syringes than with the powder whichhas to be reconstituted. the interferon is the same but the "inert" ingredients are different.

naprelan

my neuro has offered to write me a script for naprelan (which is just a time-released form for naproxen). none of the NSAIDS are good for your liver (especially with alcohol) there are warning labels on the bottles.
