How are the other 2nd shot husbands doing? Falcon?

Well, we ahve survived 1 week of riba and I gave him the 2nd shot of pegysus last night at about 6pm.  He feels like **** today.  Exhausted, feverish, freezing cold (it is hot here today, I main short sleeves in the ac house and he is in a hoodie with a blanket)  aching and basically hating it.  
He has been having trouble sleeping some nights and has been basically achy and tired all week, not unmanagable though.  
I have been making smoothies for him to drink for breakfast (he isn;t a breakfast person) and have passsed on the advise about eating somethin fat when he takes the riba.  
No nasuea to speak of but he does have abdominal discomfort.  
Hope to hear how the other week 2-ers are doing.

Hubby did #3 last night.  First one was the worst, second one was a piece of cake (he only had one little shiver) and the third one was pretty easy too.  He did have a headache and some nausea a few hours after last night's shot.  Today we ran some errands and he was ok, but he was pretty wiped out when we came home and right now he has another headache.  He had bloodwork done yesterday and we are curious to see if his HGB has dropped because he is definitely experiencing some symptoms of anemia.  He gets light headed on occasion and he gets short of breath going up stairs.  He had some trouble sleeping the first week, but does have some Ambien.  He hasn't really had to take any for a few days, so that's good.  His appetite has been pretty decent.  Energy level changes from one day to the next.  Tomorrow we are going to attempt splitting some wood and cleaning out our shed.  

You all hang in there and give your hubbies an extra squeeze and tell them how proud you are of them.  We will all get through this.  Oh yeah, make sure they drink their water!

Oh that is great!  Mine is not feeling well at all.  I am constantly asking him how much water he has had and trying to keep him eating.  
He has blood work done next week and a check up at the DR office later in the week.  I am going to the appointment with a list of questions, insomnia, vitamins, etc...

[Mercgirl1963]

he is drinking his water and still eating.  He takes a multi/no iron, E, B complex,  Calcium, Green tea extract, fish oil, spirulina and ginko.  The only recent additions are the spirulina and ginko.

I'm sorry your hubby isn't feeling well.  I think making sure he's getting the water in him is important and also try giving him small snacks if he doesn't feel like eating a full meal.  It's tough, isn't it?  You are smart to write down your questions for the doctor.  I've been to all of the appointments thus far and I keep asking my husband if he wants me to go and he says yes because four ears are better than two.  We go again on Wednesday.  Is yours taking vitamins?  Mine is taking a multi w/no iron, B6, B12, E and C.  He's been taking those for years though.  I stopped giving him zinc and calcium because I wasn't sure if those were good or bad.

I too did my second shot last night at 10:30 pm. Before I went to bed at 11-ish I took an Ambien to sleep. This morning I'm feeling find. First shot just like this one so far. Only things that I have experienced/noticed so far, is fat wasting in my arms, legs and face and a little fatigue now and then. If I go out then as soon as I get home the first think I do is sit down to rejuvenate. Has anyone else lost wight? I lost about 6lbs. I hope I don't turn in to skin and bones and start looking like a zombie. I don't want to frighten other family members and friends away from me. Last night, I ate a 1/2 baked potato, charbroiled N.Y. steak, brocolli, and salad. This morning, I'll have the other have of the steak with some eggs and toast (couldn't eat it all last night). I want to work on not losing anymore weight. I guess the further shot will be worst or not. I drink from 2-3 quart of water a day. I put an ounce of Whole Leaf Aloe Vera contrentrated juice in each bottle. I also drink Noni juice, which give me energy. I was able to exercise on the trademill for an hour yesterday. I started on exericising for just 30 min a day and have now advanced to an hour. I believe it the Noni juice working. Good luck to you all. We just have to be strong and not give up. I hope some of the things I do can benefit others. BTW I'm 59 years, not a spring chicken.

I will get him some Noni juice this weekend.  I will also try the aloe vera juice in his water, he may not go for it.  I am so happy you are dealing so well.  That is great!
