fifth shot tomorrow

[streamline569]

I feel awful today. The pattern seems for me that the day before and the day of the shot I feel sick. Have to get up tomorrow morning and drag myself to get my blood work. done. Almost can't wait for tomorrow night to take my interferon. How strange it  makes me feel better right after the shot. I pray for the day we can rid ourselves of this virus. Almost forgetting what a normal life was like.

Get up, ready to go, not everything being an effort. Sorry just not a good day. It is going to rain, maybe the rain has something to do with all the negative feelings. Thankful though it has been an easier ride so far for me then some are having.

This whole thing just make me laugh sometimes. Last night I sweat my brains out for the first time since starting tx, with the air conditioner on high all night. I guess the blues and not feeling well was something happening in my body.

The thing I realized this morning is the body pains I used to have when waking, knee pain, foot pain.....I don't have anymore. I used to have a rash I couldn't get rid of. Dermatologist diagnosed as an allergic reaction to clothing I'm wearing..... that's been gone too.

Wondering if the high liver enzymes were causing some of those problems. They have come down to about normal after the first week. It will be interesting to see the 4rh week blood work. Interesting and scary, this is the important one.....

Yeah. Counting off those days really helps. Get my new shipment Monday. Wow. Going Going....

I went through that for awhile where it almost made me feel better to get the shot in me - odd, right?  I hope you feel better.  It's pretty much an up and down ride so enjoy the up when you have it and take care of yourself extra well when its the down.

Trying to avoid antidepressants. Have tried them in the past and hate the side effects from them, they've never really worked for me, but that's just me.

Just the blues. I guess it's to be expected when you're not feeling well. It will pass.

Thanks

Sorry you're not feeling well, hang in there and tell doc how you feel. I had my first shot yesterday, and last night was very rough. One day at a time, take care.

Hey, sorry your not feeling to good right now.  Sounds like your feeling a little blu.  I think it was the 5-8 week that I was pretty emotional and I am taking zoloft during treatment.  Depression is part of the sx some people have to deal with.  If your anemic that can make you feel down for sure.   Tell your doc tomorrow how your feeling.  Hang in there it's only temporary!
