The doodah is the opposite of a hooha  ;)

Origin:
1930–35;  probably < Yiddish hu-ha  to-do, uproar, exclamation of surprise; compare Polish hu-ha  exclamation of joy

I think "excalamtion of surprise" would be the most appropriate definition of hooha in the OP question!  HA

The forum is really a wonderful place.

  Over 40 posts on the "hooha "  

One of our male members it not sure if he has one

We are not sure where exactely the fire spewing exits from .

And 4 major disagreements and arguments on all subjects above.

Where else can you find this much to smile about??  :0)

  Yeah, the muscle ache was annoying for me, because I wanted to sleep, but the tension in my muscles was making that hard. I also used to get whiney, the Interferon made me feel like how I used to feel, when I was little kid, fighting off a little flu, and my mom would make me stay home from school.
   Our bodies make natural Interferon, and then the shot enhances our own Interferon, so I felt a bit like I had a very mild flu, the first 6 or 8 shots maybe, and then for a couple of shots, I got a head-ache the next day. But now, I am fine the day after the shot, it's ever changing but I feel pretty good, I'm managing to have some fun~

For clarity's sake, please say what you mean, or in this case, ask what you mean.

People doing tx, and with symptoms of hep C, may not be very clear headed.
It's easy to get confused.

While I currently don't have either of these excuses to fall on, I can at times take people literally.
So when you ask, when something's going to happen, I thought that's what you meant, not what could possibly happen.

You have a great day too:)

Hi Cheppie, I think my first four shots were the worst, and then my body began getting used to all the meds, that I'm taking (triple tx with victrelis)
    I think I have burned in quite a few places while on treatment, but the interferon shjot tends to start having sx about 6 hours after the injection, to about 48 hrs...with me.  I get an achey back, but usually still function.
    I stopped working out though, because the Interferon ache was worse where I was working out hard....I still work out after my shot though, I take walks around the block, thru-out the day : )
    If you start having a weird side effect, like a little nausea or a little anxiety, just eat a nice meal, and go for a little walk around the block, to distract your-self. Most of my symptoms have gone away in 20~40 minutes, and then I will feel okay, for a couple hours, then a little weird again, then it's time to pop more pills again.
   Good luck with your journey!~

You poor gals if the fire spewing is happening from "all exits"

OP: To be preparred is good ,however try not to stew about what may never be.
Good luck with your treatment..

According to urban dictionary, no you do not have a hooha.

I think the OP was using it in a different context though..I was confused at first as well.
I really hope a burning hooha is NOT the sides list...I.have enough other weird stuff already happening!

"Oy" is right Idyllic :)

Sorry if any of the comments came off harsh.  To me, it sounded like you were asking 'when' you will 'get' a certain sx,,,no one knows if or when you will get any sx.   I may have misunderstood your question, I'm guessing others may have as well.

If you want to know 'what' to do 'if' the sx happens, which to me, is a completly different question,  there is a wealth of knowledge here on that front.

Thats very true.  BUT you CAN know what to look for.....and thats
why I ask.   Do I believe everything people tell me here? NO!!!!
But the more opinions you get about reactions.... the better prepared you
will be if it happens to you.   I have gotten some really great information
from more that one person on this site.  
Thank You for responding and have a Great Day : )
