I've recently been prescribed Cidofovir for my CMV retinitis, and I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects. The list is long and scary! I'm really hoping to hear from others who have used this antiviral injection and had good results. How has your experience been? Did you encounter any of the urgent side effects, and if so, how were they managed? Would love to hear about the recovery process and how well the treatment worked for you. How difficult was IV administration and how long did it take for you to feel better?!
