I'm not too far away from you at all over in Idaho, in fact there was just a OCF event not too far away from you in Columbia Falls. Glad you found the forums, welcome to our little oasis on the net!
As a second to David, as I sit here typing this the ringing in my ears is loud and clear. I've experienced very real hearing loss from that drug and it can be very frustrating. Just keep an eye out for it. Mine started after my second dose as well I just wasn't informed it was an issue, or was on too many other drugs to notice until it was too late.
Keep the great attitude! All we can control through treatment is our attitude, hydration and nutrition and I believe that attitude is the most important, keep that and the rest comes easy.
