i All,
As you know I have been on treatment for 6 weeks. During the first few weeks, I had fever after every injection, slight stiffness in my knees and jaw and that was about it.
I was on leave from work for about 4 months.
1. I joined work on first Feb. The first two days were okay. On the third day, that is on 4th Feb, my stomach started aching as soon as I reached office.
And I felt I had zero energy in my body. I felt more fatigued than I have ever felt in my life. Even getting up from my chair looked was a herculean effort. The one thing that might have caused this, and its only a conjecture on my part, that I had very light breakfast, (just a couple of biscuits) before having Ribavarin.
Can lack of one adequate meal cause that much of a problem?
2. Also, I am experiencing pain in the upper - middle part of the abdomen. The pain is in short bursts but intense. I am experiencing this pain for the last 3-4 days. I had kept my laptop on my abdomen and was surfing for some time. Can that be a cause of the stomach pain?
3. Also, I am drinking around 1.5 litres of water every day. I know that the recommended amount on treatment is around 4 litres. Unfortunately it has been quite cold in India this time around. And that has kind of limited my water intake.
I am wondering if I need to see the doctor over this. Anyone have any advice?
