Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / November 2004shot 2 of 48 still feeling only the most minor sides
Hi folks Just a checkin, Hope all have made it pleasantly through Thanksgiving And much luck and white light for you folks expecting results this coming week. I did my second shot solo about 9 PM last night (Pegesys) took a couple of Tylenol 1/2 hour before, stayed up about 3 or 4 more hours Woke up feeling fine (So far) no injection site reaction etc (I make a point of not getting the overfill all over the needle) Generally I get a mild feverishness mid afternoon from the Riba easily trounced with Tylenol Appears so far I'm lucky, but I've seen noticed some folks say it can hit bad any time. My lower back has been bothering me quite a bit lately but that was occasional true before TX and the Sonogram found a very small 4mm Kidney Stone (too small to pulse) If this keeps up I'm gonna need something to cover the pain, but I don't think its directly related to TX or HepC I have been lifting weights for the last year I was attempting to retire in the best shape of my life, ( till I found out about HEPC, oh well that still may be the case ) Anyway I'm still continuing with the Exercise routines haven't seen any obvious change of strength or endurance for that matter. MAYBE THEY GAVE ME THE PLACEBO!!!! <Grin> <Ah good old paranoia, keeps me company in times of false security> Anyway Tuesday I get some Blood tests and Friday discussion with my TX practitioner (male RN). to see how my Reds and Whites are looking (AH if that were only wine or Russians <grin>) The HMO folks screwed my TX start date a bit so "baseline" tests were actually done 5 weeks before beginning TX VL 1.7M IU/ml 1A (high midrange). But all my blood counts were initially on the "rich" side anyway Maybe that's why I haven't been hit by the sides yet, possibly I haven't gone anemic yet. Any particular questions I should be asking my Doc at this point? Anyway,,,, all please keep well and feel good (or at least better) more to follow DrBenway Thanks DrBenway (not a Dr nor did I play one on TV, but used to play DR as a kid a lot if that counts) I found that week four thru six were the worst in terms of the sides of the combination effects. I've adjusted to it and it has abaited somewhat too, but apparently thats how long it takes for the Interferon to reduce your red blood cell count to anemic levels. But I've been told to not write the whole story until the fat SVR sings. Things change very fast, as you've seen on this group. So try to stay well, it's like the weather in Newfoundland, nothing to be done about it anyway, bayes.

Maybe the sides are easy because you are in such good shape. I don't think there's ever been a study done on that, but it makes sense. > MAYBE THEY GAVE ME THE PLACEBO!!!! <Grin> > <Ah good old paranoia, keeps me company in times of false security> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Any particular questions I should be asking my Doc at this point? Ask him when you can get those kidney stones treated... All the best, Benway. Your sense of humour is not only good for you but probably for a lot of others in the group too-- keep it up, eh! Waterspider Good to hear that doc! Here's wishing you that time flies by fast!!! hc > Hi folks Just a checkin, > [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > (not a Dr nor did I play one on TV, > but used to play DR as a kid a lot if that counts) How'd I do that??? hc (posted x2) > Good to hear that doc! > Here's wishing you that time flies by fast!!!
