I am also starting 7/6. This is what I've done so far

Started drinking 60oz h2o daily. I'm having it delivered to my house so I dont have to carry it from the market.

I purchaced Nioxon for my soon to be thinning dry hair. I bought the shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment. Our hair will get really dry, break off and we'll look like chia pets by the end of tx...(from what I hear)

Ambien, Tylenol, Xanaz PRN....This is what my Hepatoligist prescribed for me.

I plan to be here on the night of the 6th to let y'all know how I'm doing.
Good luck!!

Try not to remember that things like juice to count towards the water count...otherwise you'll end up floating down river!

Your body will let you know when you need more or less - unfortunately dehydration from tx seems so deep that you can't really just get to it by drinking.  Remember to keep moisturized all of the time to help your skin (which is your biggest organ in your body after all).

1/2 your body weight in ounces ( per day ) . So, 60 oz's or about 2 quarts ....1/2 gallon ....etc etc ....

drink half you weight in ounces of water (as others have said); this is good whether you are on tx or not.

I have used for 2 years Pureology Products and someone on this forum recommended them.  I have only 6 months for tx, and while my skin did dry out and my hair is now letting go more (week 21), I have had very good luck. I think everyone is different in their sides.

I have not suffered from insomnia, but I get very fatigued and breathless.  I get headaches occasionally and have taken Ibuprofen (probably one headache per month, maybe not that often).   I did not need Procrit, Neupogen or any sleep or anxiety meds.  I know I have been fortunate but before I started treating, I stressed out to the max over everything I had heard.    Treatment is no piece of cake and I cannot wait for it to be over, but take every day, day by day.  Good luck to you.

if your 119 lbs. You woul drink half of what your body weight is......that would be 60oz water a day.

e.g. 150 lbs- 75 oz. a day.

Good Luck

try to drink half your weight in ounces of water each day.  Since you weigh 119, drink 60 ounces of water each day.
