rough week

[crigger]

Boy this week has been ruff ruff. Had stomach virus.  Thought I was gonig to die! ...Kinda wanted too... My hbg went to 8,3  I had to go get procrit and start it. Then pharmacy would not give me syringes. They said I needed to get an order for them . Well needless to say I went crazy in the pharmacy! I feel bad about it now but at the time I could not stop my potty mouth!    I am back in my cave now! Hopefully I do not need to go out again for a while. I Did get syringes at another pharmacy,

hi

I recently completed my 24 weeks treatment for type 3 begining of febuary. It was very  hard especially the dizziness, tiredness and headache and insomnia. I could not work properly and I had to reduce my hours. I was told that 3 month your boby started to ge used to the interferon but it did not hapen . I was also told that it will take 2-3 weeks to get back to normal post treatment, I am still feeling extremely tired all the time and my vision has gone down and I have to wear glasses now.

I don't know how I got the virus, must be from the hospital as I am a nurse.
I have tried to remain positive throughout the treatment , it was when it was completed that I felt more dowwn. The GP was not able to help and they fon't even listen to what you are saying.

I used to be quite active , cycling, martial arts etc and I am 34 years.
I found that Acupuncture helped a lot during and post treatment. i was able to find a good chinese doctor and she has been the most helpful throghout the treatment..

I am hoping to get back to normal soon though and still trying to be positive even if its hard.

Wish you all well

Hang in there. I react like you when it comes to stuff like this. When I am done with tx I have to go back and clean up my mess with all the people I yelled at.  I have to be careful when I go out in public, for some reason a person walking in heels drives me insane! Click, click...I hate it. I have to move to the other side of the store before I say something!

I can't imagine why would they give you an injectable without syringes! My clinic gives me better syringes for Procrit because they do not give one drop extra. Hand in there I have been fighting the anemia too. I've had 2 transfusions so far. It seems once the hgb is under 10 Procrit or not I crash. We all have our moments of rage!

I have caught myself snapping at a few people this week, had to apologize...really though, if they would just act right I wouldn't have to get snappy!  ha....

I totally relate. For a while I just thought I'd better not talk to anyone cause I couldn't trust my mouth from going riba rapid.

Hang in there, you'll make it!

Bless your heart crigger! Sick on top of sick can't be fun at all!

Be well! Sending more hugs!

And I hope they finally listened to you in the pharmacy!;)

I'm sending (((hugs))) fromNJ. Sounds like you could use one. I remember that riba rage well. Try and relax and have a good weekend.
