In my experience (and everyone reacts differently to Uptravi) the side effects lessened over time and became bearable about 3 weeks after every new dose. Then when I increased to the next dose they started all over again, with new/worse side effects as the dose got higher and higher. (I’m at 1600 now, hooray! 1600 was extra-difficult, but after a month and a half the side effects are beginning to ease up.)

I eat ice cream before my morning dose of Uptravi because I find it hard to eat in the morning, and having some fat and calories in my system makes it less likely that I’ll have nausea.

Did you all start hurting that soon. I don’t have any other side affects yet. What does ice cream do? Also, do the side affects ease up after a while?

This is so much (MUCH) easier to read than to suffer through, but that having been said: it sounds bad, but… a bit better. At least, it will be better in a few months when the side-effects ease off. And the low oxygen at night, and NONE during the day sound really good. And that makes me feel a bit hopeful too.
Until then: eat lots of ice cream (for medical reasons to combat side effects, of course) and keep us updated! And… I don’t suppose tiramisu would help?

Mike ;)
