Hi gang - so the wonderfulness of wk 4 sides is that I'm so tired and dizzy and nauseuous I can't stand it. Went to the doc for 4 week checkup, turns out my red blood cells dropped 20% and that's why short of breathBreath alcohol test Breath holding spell Breath odor and dizzy - I think it's just that I've developed a way to feel the fluctuations in the gravitational force field. Anyway, Dr. stopped my 1200 mgs of RibavirinRibavirin Ribavirin-interferon-alfa-2a for 2 days, then has me starting back at 2 pills a day for 2 days, then slowly back up to my 6 aday.
Now, good news, is my liver function is normalNormal saline flush! Yea ! I'm kicking the sh*t out of this virus - bad news I'm kicking the sh*it out of me!
I'm really concerned that going back to full riba will just keep lowering red blood count. Anybody have any great ideas for the dizzyness?
