Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / October 2004Tuesday, shot day,yahoo
Well, here it is Tuesday again. Time for my Interferon injection. YAY! I can hardly wait....NOT. This time I think I'll wait until this evening instead of the afternoon as I usually do. Good golly miss Molly. Next Tuesday I have an appointment to have my blood drawn for the 12 week viral load check. When they do that they have to send it to the mainland to Palo Alto for processing. I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the results.I hope those lab tech's are from the top of their class, and not the bottom :-) > Well, here it is Tuesday again.

Can't believe you're at 12 weeks already. Time flies when your having fun eh? I am trying to approach shot days differently. I don't enjoy them but each one I take is one less I have to "look forward to" so when I look at it that way it's easier. Doesn't always happen but I still try. AG How long have you been on the Interferon? I am not on it now but when I was I took it just befor bed a long with a Ibuprofen, I t help me to sleep and the joint pain was not to bad the next day.I hope your Blood work is good. I was the same way when I went. Then after going so much it would be just down some. I got so my Iron was geting but Doc said not that much. I hop its all good news!

I just realised who you are. I'm the St George guy on delphi. Best wishes, Paul  SignaturePaul Use the reply by email facility in your newsreader to send email and let's hope the test tubes aren't Made in China, too. geeeez! http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile Thanks Elmo, I needed that laugh.I hear it releases some endorphins or some such thing. :-) This is my 11th shot of Interferon. As most everyone knows by now, that at 12 weeks it is standard practice to determine the viral load, or the level of virus in a ml. of blood. If there is a significant drop in viral load after 12 weeks that is considered encouraging, and is believed that the treatment will be effective. Apparently I have been carrying these little buggies since 1972 or 1973. That's more that long enough. Let em get out and walk. I think there are two things that the human eye has never seen, one is a virus, and the other is an electron.We know from inference that they exist, yet we've never seen them.If anyone knows different,please enlighten me. My info may be a little out of date. John (Honolulu hit 90 deg. today, with humidity, at least it beats shoveling snow) > and let's hope the test tubes aren't Made in China, too. geeeez! There's a photo of the hepc virus taken thru an electron microsocope posted in Doc Elmo's Hepfile. A link to the hepfile is at the bottom of this post. I believe it's on the second or third page.

I thought it was being processed in Hawaii! Good golly Miss Molly Susie . John- Good luck on your bloodwork. I'm going to the Dr today to get my 12 week results. I too want the top of the class doing my labs. The anticipation can be horrible. I try to believe that everything turns out exactly the way it's supposed to and this helps me accept things as they come. It's not always easy but, doable.

The waiting game at this point is the hardest part. Have a couple of brownies while you're at it. Elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile Hoo boy,this one was a toughie. I took the shot at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, and I found myself with a kind of a speedy like buzz that kept me up until about 5:00a.m. before I was able to sleep. I was unable to get out of bed at all Wednesday.It's hard to believe that 30 years ago I would and love that experience. Now, it's a most unpleasant feeling. I feel as though I had been dragged through a rathole :) I kinda wish I was a little younger and a little stronger, cause baby I'm paying the price now. John > Well, here it is Tuesday again.
