Injection # 10

Well I did my 10th shot tonight so I'll probly feal pretty cruddy tomorrow. Wedsndays have been my worst days. I pretty much stay in bed for most of the day. Thank God for my husband. I haven't felt very well for about the last month. I'm just so tired my body is completly whiped out from tx and I've been pretty sick to my stomach all the time and I've had to really focus on not throwing up my meds. Um what else? I have had a few little rashes but not to bad I get head aiches every day. Everything on my body is dried out and my hair is breaking really bad and shedding. I have realling thick hair so if you hadn't had my hair for your whole life you wouln't know that it was thinner. So that's a good thing. I've tried some natrual shmpoos that just seemed to make it more dry. Next I'm trying Wen I asked my husband to order it for me. I've heard good things about it. Most of the things I used to love to eat I just can't do anymore. Fruit has been a life saver for me especialy grapes I love them. What else yogurt is good peach is my face right now, Smoothies are good but its hard to find stuff that doesn't taste funny to me. cerial still tastes normal exept any that are sweet anything that's even mildly sweet is too sweet it doesn't agree with my stomach. Believe it or not the crunchy tacos at taco bell I still really like so that's a nice treat when nothing else seems to be that great for me. I've lost 14 pounds so far some times it's more it fluctuates but that's a good thing. I've needed to lose a little. So I think that's about everything for now. I hope everyone is doing ok. I'm of to bed to see if my stomach will settle down a little so I can get some rest.

Thanks Billy I will and I hope things continue to go well for you.

Anne, I 've missed all of you and yeah it is really hard to eat when you don't feal well. I wish I had more of an appatite but even when I do nothing sounds good or tastes good. I don't think I've tried milk shakes but I used to love ice cream and now it's just too sweet for me. It seams that anything with even a little sugar in it is way to sweet for me and it makes me more sick to my stamoch.

Dee, good luck I really hope you do well : )

Sherry, I had some days in my first month when I really wanted to give up and I felt so trapt because I knew I can't give up just gata keep moving forward. I really lean on God for my strength. I hope you start fealing better.

Streamline, I agree food is just boring and unapealing and I hate having to eat with my meds after just eating a couple or few hours before it's a chore for me. I have'nt been able to come up with any snacks I can really eat besides grapes and some times apples or frozen blue berries. I eat the yogurt with my 5 am meds because it's fast and I can go back to bed. I feal you on the exhausted part as well Every fiber of my being is exhausted.

Summer, I have to add 4 more weeks on to my tx now so 28 all together. I'll go more in to that on a new post.

Bab, Thanks : )

So good to hear from all of you. Wishing you all well : )

I'm doing my 9th shot Thursday and it's wearing on me. Can't wait to stop the incivek, one less medication will be greatly welcome. I'm mentally and physically exhausted after 2 months. I think I'll be living on yogurt for the next month, food is getting pretty boring.....

I hear your strength in your post and I hope I can stay strong too.  I feel like a whimp for wanting to take the day off in my third week of treatment but I don't seem to be able to lever myself out of the house.  What's most important for me right now is taking care of myself during treatment which it sounds like you're doing.

Hang in there,
Sherry

Hey there great to hear how you are doing
When I was on triple tx I was advised to stop dairy, except for yogurt,  I pretty much lived on yogurt.  It is funny the things you will like on tx.  I hope it is yogurt since I have stocked up on that and bagels and cream cheese
I appreciate your sharing.  I start on Friday, very nervous.
Take Care

Hey Gracie, I have been thinking about you and glad you have checked in. I hate that you have not been feeling well, and 14 lbs wow be careful with that, its hard to eat though when you don't feel well, when I am sick I tend not to eat at all either. Have you tried milk shakes? Glad you checked in...anne
