Hi all!Been w/o a puter for 3 weeks.Hope ya'll r doing okay.I'm on week 14 of PegasysPegasys/1400 Riba,1b.Did okay til week 5 & RAGE hit hard.Tried to deal til 3 weeks ago & started w/EFFEXOR XRon 3/28.I don't know where these past 2 weeks have gone.It seems to make me oblivious to anything around me!NO Rage,but total oblivion is NOT a good switch either!The one who couldn't deal w/my rage was Hubby,cuz it also TOTALLED any sexBuccal smear Causes of sexual dysfunction Child abuse - sexual Delayed ejaculation Erection problems Female sexual dysfunction Inhibited sexual desire Orgasmic dysfunction Puberty and adolescence Rape Safe sex drive!Says he'd go elsewhere to get headHead and face reconstruction Head injury Head lice Indications of head injury Radial head injury if I won't give him any!Is he UnReal or what?!Personally,
I'd rather be Raging & cognitiveMental status tests,than unemotional & totally passive about EVERYTHING!I'd like to stop taking the EffexorEffexor Effexor xr,but don't want to tell hubby.I'm NOT depressed.As I took that ONLY for the RibaRage.
I also found some foreign stuff like tiny styrofoam beads in my oral liquidLiquid barosperse Liquid calcium with vitamin d Liquid co-q10 Liquid e-z paque Liquid pedvaxhib Liquid polibar Liquid pred Riba syringe.Didn't take it,but Rn said it was just "unmixed compound",like a sugary based stuff?!Anyone else ever had this problem?Thinking of calling the FDA.DO NOT LIKE unknown items in MY TX Meds!
NEXT,Results for my Blood Counts:
Week 2- WBC=4.3-RBC=4.60.
Week 4- WBC=3.8-RBC=3.92.
Week 8- WBC=3.1-RBC=3.48.
Had Week 12 but no results yet.Rn says #'s are within acceptable limits,but look awfully low to me!!
Also WHICH OTHER RESULTS are the MOST critical ones to pay serious
attention to?
Week 8 - SGOT/AST = 73 & SGPT/ALT = 83.
Week 2 Thyroxine = 10.3 - TSH = 2.867 - T3 Uptake = LOW 20%.
ANY HELP or INFO WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED!Also,is anyone else out there a 1b on Pegasys & Ribavirin & near Week 14 like me?Also is there ANY OTHER WAY to deal with RIBA RAGE than Effexor?T/Y Karen!
