Did you have any questions about this drug or this treatment before you started?
I did have questions about it because obviously it's quite a powerful drug so, but I think, when you're in a situation where you can't do anything and someone says to you, “Well this is, this is one option, and it's been it, you know, it's been trialled with people and where it hasn't work, where other drugs haven't worked with them it's been very successful.” You do have questions, but at the end of the day what you're thinking in the back of the mind is actually if it works, you know, the side effects are irrelevant because you can't actually have much of a life anyway if you don't have it, so you do have quite a lot of questions but they're only as a sort of matter of course if you know what I mean? You like [laughs] you're so desperate to take something that's gonna work that that actually that far outweighs any kind of doubt in your mind about what other side effects are and, and things so, you, all you're thinking about is I want something that works [laughs].
If you're in a situation where you, you can't go out and you can't do things and, even the littlest things take hours, and, you know, you would take anything, you know, the side effects are, you, they're immaterial really because if you don't take it then you'll just end up housebound so, it doesn't really, the side effects are not really if, a major concern [laughs].
But did they talk to you about that?
Yeah, yeah they went through the side effects
