Week 8

Sunday
Whew!  I took my injection Friday and it's been down hill from there. This injection seems worse than last weeks....Aleve is not working on the body aches. I'm draggin and feel REALLY yucky again. But I made myself go to the store today. It is getting more difficult to drink water - I love water - now I'm on a cranberry jc w/ gingerale kick. I don't even like 'pop/soda' but now I find myself drinking it.

Got my eyes checked - - no damage to my retina - my eyes are just very dry - I use Systane already.

I'm attempting to sign up for patient assist for the Pegasys - all the forms are signed and filled out - but I noticed the Dr. did not include a prescription for the meds ... more delays.

My apartment is looking a little crazy ... I hate that - Me first - apartment later :-))

Getting a little more teary lately - but I'm handling it.  Go see my therapist this week - that's always a significant emotional event lol

My appetite goes up and down and now I hate coffee and cigarettes!  actually that comes and goes.

I can tell my white count is down again. My teeth feel ‘funny’, bladder infection coming on, I get congested right in the middle of my chest and I can't stand touching newspaper - I have to put Vaseline on my fingertips to do so - weird! All of the above vanishes once I take the Neupogen.

What's positive - writing this.  And only 40 more weeks to go ...
