Week 6 just seeing how everyone is doing

[toughluck]

Very tired, trying to get minor things accomplished, very spaced out and  watching the summer disappear as I stare outside.

This is a time in our lives that we will never forget no matter what the outcome is, I pray for everyone on TX and wish everyone well. Debbie223 this is a strange journey and it seems to be different for everyone.

I did shot 7 on Friday... I am really doing ok... I have not had any really bad sx.. had a few bad days in the begining and somedays I am wiped out but for the most part I am ok. The one thing I do notice the most is my lack of motivation... I feel like I am living in the meantime.... making few plans ( I am a big planner and had a very busy social life before all this) I go shopping ( a favorite) and I get to the store and kinda go what am I doing here and just leave.

I think boring is a good way of putting it. I am geno 2 and will tx for 24 weeks, UND at 4 weeks so I am keeping good thoughts for the future...

This is a strange journey and so different for everyone...

Take care and hang in there

6 shots you well on your way, what geno are you?
How long are you gonna treat?
Have you done any pcr yet? and hows you hgb, wbc ,neutrophiles and platelets nr?

I think its uplifting to look at the lab copys, once in a while.
It goes up and it goes down have you experienced any supersensitivity yet like crying when watching the most banal film on tv, thats quite funny I think.

Best wishes for you, God is so good we can`t even imagen I pray hes gonna bless you.

Hey, I'm just finishing week six too.  Shot number seven tomorrow.  I'm feeling pretty much the same way and too tired to come on this site to get the support I need.  I can't walk upstairs anymore without being totally winded.  I've been spending my days in a hammock under the trees--somewhat boring but I get fresh air and dappled sunshine everyday.  It was good to hear from Trinity saying these feelings are typical around this time of tx.  Hopefully, we will feel a little better as time goes on.
Best wishes,
Wilful

I did #4 Thursday and between that, TS Fay, and moving my daughter off to college, I have hit my first wall.  

As I sit here doing the same...watching the summer end from inside-I can only focus on how much better the cooler weather will feel to me when I finally venture out again.  

While I have no good advice to give you, I can let ya know that I am right behind you.  And I will follow you right on thru to SVR!!!

Hang in there.  Lay low.  Force yourself to eat well and drink lots.

Focus on getting the necessary things done.  We have the rest of forever to sweat the small stuff.

Wish ya the best,

Isobella

I started last Tuesday... so I have not joined the seriously brain fogged yet. Had a little preview of it last night. It was mighty weird... I was actually wondering what else they put into those Rebetol capsules. But I woke up this morning and was normal again. Minor sides so far. The muscle aches are almost gone as it is getting close to next shot day.

Wishing you all the best.

Six weeks is when I started to to feel the full effects.  The body is trying very hard to adjust to the meds and typically our bloodwork starts to get low during that time which doesn't help matters either.  Fatigue sets in and you feel like you could sleep on a bed of nails except at night when it's time to sleep and you can't.  Very typical but I know that doesn't make you feel any better.  Push through it, do the necessary things and don't worry about what you think you should be doing, do what you have to and then rest.  Everyone is different, but I did start to feel better around 12 - 14 wks.  Week 22 for me now and I'm managing OK but nothing like I used to.  I can't take my walks anymore, or swim and life consists of work, eat and sleep (still don't sleep well.)   Boring as hell, but at least it's doing something.  Next summer will be back before you know it and all this will be behind you.  Hopefully, you'll be experiencing new health without this virus and life will better than ever.  Stay with it, it's worth it.
