Congratulations to everyone who is on their 24th injection. Seems like a few of you are. Now on to SVR.
deb - you too? What is the deal? Maybe it is a cyber virus! ha ha.
Yea, pneumonia and tx don't mix too well. I kind of lost a whole week. I hope you get over it soon

I am just getting over pneumonia too. Are we all passing our germs to each other?
Anyway Honda you are some trouper (you too Bean) I had a hard enough time with this and not even doing tx.
I hope you get better soon.
Congrats on 24!
Last one? Congratulations, and I hope you start to feel better quickly. You've had a rough time with this.

I did find some useful information on pneumonia online. It said the you should breath in as deeply as you can and expel it out your mouth as hard as you can three times an hour. This makes sense -- we need to expel the cr@p that is deep down in our lungs. Whenever I think about it I do this.

Patches. I have pneumonia too. As soon as they diagnosed it I thought of you. I really thought I was having extreme chest pain and heart pumping fast from the anemia so I was glad that the antibiotic actually stopped the pain. I don't know what I would have done if what I experienced was just from treatment drugs. I started my second week of antibiotic Thursday. I have read that it take 2-4 weeks to get over this. We need to take care and try to do less and sleep more, and I am sure that is as hard for you as it is for me.
I think bands and segments are like baby neutrophils. It is just that some CBCs show them and some don't. I don't think it is any problem at all.
Shot 26 last night, 22 to go
