HarleyKenny...You can order Carnation VHC at most pharmacies (Walgreen's, Target, CVS). You don't need a prescription, however, it isn't generally a stocked item. I ordered through Target and they always had it shipped in the next day.

You can also order it through Amazon. If you do that, use the link on this website to get to Amazon and a portion of your order will go to OCF.

I have to tell you, I read your post without reading the ones above it...and, at first I thought you were announcing that you had 12 out of 27 beers today. Then, I realized you were telling JimBeers you had 12 out of 27 RTs. Glad to figure out that you are not loading up on alcohol during treatment. ;-)

I got a kick out of your unconventional hammer pain relief. That's a new one. Are you able to taste foods? My husband was able to manage home-made mac-n-cheese for the first few weeks of treatment (supplemented by protein drinks). If you need a recipe, let me know.
