2 days no incevik feeling great

Just finished my twelve week of incevik, took my 13th shot. Felt better as soon as I stopped incevik, but took about 48 hours to stop the itching, and get the nasty taste out of my mouth. Did my 12 week blood work yesterday waiting for results. For the last month I came home from work and went to bed, not the last two days actually went out to dinner and hung out with friends, big difference so far. Hopefully the hema will go up a little more over the next few days. A little dizzy and sore throat the first day but feeling better today. Joe

Congrats Joe for finishng the inc. was was actually very happy when I found out my ins. wouldnt pay for it seeing as I am geno 2. I was not looking forward to that at all. It seems that is the one that gives most people the bad sides. I just hope soc works for me. LOL. sounds like a slogan for Riba and Peg. "Soc works for Me"  Have a great night.  :)

Congrats.....that's a huge step.  I have 5 more days to go and I needed to hear your words of inspiration.  I was doing ok for a couple of weeks, but seemed to nose-dive once again over the past 2 days.  I'm very much looking forward to being done.
