I took hydrocodone sporadically for my back while taking Evrysdi with no side effects. I believe I called Accredo and it was not listed under their adverse drug interactions so it was ok to take.

Hope your back gets better.

Hello Ajay,

I am 45 with type 3. I have been on Evrysdi for about a month now and I initially felt like I was buzzing as in I drank some really strong coffee or espresso.

I was also told that some church groups or charities could possibly help but I have not found any as of yet.

Fortunately for my wife and I, we decided to homeschool our kids at the beginning of the school year in 2019 so before the pandemic. We decided this as we found our son was learning, for lack of better words, bad behaviors and words from other kids at school. We also were constantly getting sick as they bring everything home which wasn’t fun. And…[Read more]

Hello Brianna,

I drink match tea almost every morning now. When I first started drinking matcha it really gave me a jolt in how I felt but it did make me a little nauseous afterward which made me stop drinking it for awhile. But after awhile I realized the trade off was worth it to me and started again and surprisingly I no longer feel nauseous…[Read more]

Hello Kevin,

I know this is probably not possible due to financial costs but I wonder if it is possible to get both treatments. Do you know if this has been discussed?
