Good morning to all ! How is evey one feeling?
Good morning, after the crazy day we had yesterday let's get on with what's important getting to SVR.
I have a Dr. appointment today and I guess he will check my blood to see how my Thalassemia is holding up to the tx. I hope it does not start dropping to soon, I still have 23 weeks to go. I am lucky that I have Geno 2B, with this type of anemia I don't know how well I'll do.
To all my friends out there, have a great day!

Chevy---That is great that you are SVR,that is great will let you know how my bloob test is.
fisheress---Thalassemia runs in families, it is also called Mediterranean anemia. Mainly found in families of Italian and Greek or any where near the mediterrean sea. You can not get it from Tx, but being on tx in most cases (riba) causes anemia. Your friend could have Thallassemia, there is a test for that, it think you should test. Hope all works out. Let us Know.
NY girl--Glad to see your in a good mood, even with different geno types we are still friends :) Hope we all have a better day today.
Sparkie#2---That is good your drinking lots of water, it's so important. The headache was bad for about 2 days, I promise you it will get better. Don't forget to come here for support, the people here are so helpful and they really care. Let us know how you are doing.

Where can I get a bloob test? Is that where they take blood from your b**bs?
Chev got one? No fair! ;-)

Hey there- Hope you start feeling better. One thing I was given months before I started tx- A gel pack (looks like futuristic sunglasses), they told me to keep it in the fridge and if I get a bad headache lay down and put it over my eyes. Probably available at any pharmavy.Sometimes I just put it up higher on the forehead.
Another thing too is to keep track of basic things. I get very bad headaches everytime I go without or cut down my coffee intake, just like withdrawals from the caffine according to my dr. When I sneak a lttle too much sugar also I get bad headaches the next day. Tylenol does nothing for those headdaches although it helps with my muscle aches.
It's just like the hangovers I experienced when I drank. I was told by a dr that a good portion of the hangover effect was the sugarin the alchohol and mixers.
Although of course it may not have anything to do with that- as our body goes through all the new changes, other little things we take for granted can enhance things.
Be well,
Don
