Maybe I can stop whinning now - I hope!

To all my great friends. Just a quick update. It's been a little over a couple of weeks since I have completed treatment. These past few days have improved a bunch. Energy has shot up. I'm eating and gaining weight, thinking clearly (or at least for me), no more shaking, sleeping really good the last few nights, Not going to pee every few minutes during the night, the ticker tape in my brain has stopped running, racing heart has gone away, worked on honey do's all weekend and spent a lot of time playing with the grand kids. Actually exercised Saturday and went bike riding. Head aches are completely gone for now. Food taste like food:) Still drinking a ton of water to help flush the stuff out of my system. If you ever need to reach me I am at vettehead1951 and the rest sounds like wahoo. The smart ones will figure that out:)I've already forgotten what the secret code was myself:) The three stooges (Beamishboy, Dyce and Dale) are looking forward to Thanksgiving more than ever. I hope this note finds all of you in good spirits and on the mend. With much love and respect. Your odd friend - Dale

Good for you, glad to hear that. I wondered how long its takes to start feeling better after, you give us hope. Take care!

[friole]

Sounds like  you are on the road to recovery.  Ahhhh, isn't it nice not to have to take that shot and pop those pills!

[Cindy10]

Wow that is great to here so many start to feel better soon after. Congrats to those who are done, take care!

[Carolengy]

Good for you! I am glad to hear that, it was exactly the same for me, after 2 weeks and I started to live again, now is just my hair not enough to look decent, and not enough hair loss to wear a wig, oh well at least I can run up the stairs, and oh man! feels wonderful!

[jaroman]

Yeah, you sound great!
I finished too-exactly l month since the last shot. 72 weeks.
I had the headaches and shakes too, but only for a few days.  I feel GREAT too; still no hair though.  
I am afraid though b/c I should get end of tx PCR results this week.
Keep going folks!

[Forseegood]

I agree with NYGirl, your relief and happiness shines through, so glad for you dear friend, you deserve a break, be well!!!

You are done!   I remember you were really high at week 12 -- and your 24 week PCR was even higher and you cleared at week 38.  So how did it go _I mean other than the usual awful.  YOu did 72 weeks straight or did you up the doses?  Have you been clear since week 38?

Congrats on finishing a grueling treatment and I hope your recovery time is fast

[anise]

Dale-ray, you are responding to after treatment better than I am.  I am 3 months past treatment and still feeling off and on.  Yet, getting better by the week.

Congratulations on getting better!

Jaroman, I haven't seen your emails in a long time.  How are you feeling?

Magnum, I haven't seen you post also.  Hope all is well with you.

[sunspot]

You had me worried with the racing heartbeat thing. I'm glad to hear that's over.
I had a big list of honey do's this past weekend. Six family members coming to B'ham this weekend.
P.S. Don't forget, today is votin day. Vote the bums out.

[jaroman]

Hi! How are you doing?
I did the 72 with 6 weeks doubling the Peg. UD since 38, but will post the end of tx PCR soon.
Take care.

[MrsOckert]

I'm so glad things are settling down for you.  It's been a terrible struggle and I'm so happy things are beginning to turn around for you.

Love, Valorie

[friole]

I am waiting for my 3 month post PCR.  I did 56 weeks because I didn't clear until the 20th week.  I hate this anxiety.  I picked up the other lab work yesterday (the PCR won't be in until next week) and my liver enzymes are high - higher than they ever were on tx or even back to 1995.  Needless to say, I am concerned.

Other than that, I am doing great

[MissMiss]

Whoopee!  There is light at the end!  I am so happy for you.  Really!

Just be prepared for the sandhill walk.  Two steps up and one down, you may slip and fall down two or three steps.  Up you go again!  That's what I am finding anyway but won't rain on your parade anymore, lol.
