Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / October 2005Shot 3 and the whipped cream caper
Hello fellow heppers in hepperland. Well what an interesting week I have had. It was Canadian Thanksgiving last weekend after shot 2. My hubby baked some pumpkin pies to take to my daughters for dinner, as I was extremely fatigued last week. I asked him to buy whipping cream. He comes home with cool whip. I started to get a little antsy and he returned it to the store and brought home edible oil in a can. Got very antsy and went a little beserk over the fact that he couldnt read the words real whipped cream. Had a big boo-hoo over friggin whipping cream and slept the rest of the day. The weak was hard as I was under dead line pressures working 12 hr days. I basically went to work and came home and slept. Don't know how you guys out there with kids etc. are doing this. Big question - has anyone found a way to get the metal taste from the meds out of your mouth. This is the biggest thing I hate about tx. Surely one of you knows a food or mint that will work. Took my shot at 5:30 last nite. Went to poker and could feel the effects by the end of the night. Huge headache throughout the night and this morning. Taking tylenol and will be taking it easy. Had a check up at the clinic and my virus count is at 1 million and ast up in th 90's - that was freaky since my origninal count was 562,000 and ast in 60's. I have lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. They told me that if I am not responding by a 2 log drop at week 12 they are taking me off the tx. Mags > Hello fellow heppers in hepperland. Well what an interesting week I have > had.

It was because of the loss of appetite not the metal taste from the medicine. I did have that bad taste when I had been on strong IV anibiotics a few years ago. Nothing I did would get rid of that metal taste. It slowly got better, but it took close to a year before food was back to tasting normally. I did my best to find foods that were tolerable and ate them, even if they weren't the healthyest. One of the foods I could eat were the white powdered donuts and ice cream (though not at the same time) which was really unhealthy for me considering I'm diabetic. It may take some time, but your sense of taste will return and good luck finding something you can tolerate until then. Dwight I ate a lot of cold cereal and Hagan Dass ice cream. Lucky Charms for some reason went down well, and easy to prepare, hahaha...  SignatureRuss Visit Alaska @ http://www.tannersacre.com > > Hello fellow heppers in hepperland.

I had forgotten the suger free Popsicles, I went through boxes of them while going through tx, as a matter of fact, I still am.

Lots of ice cream!!!!! elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum Getting emotional over whipped cream is pretty much par for the course on tx. LOL. At least it didn't turn you suicidal. Headline: WOMAN BLOWS HER BRAINS OUT BECAUSE HUBBY BRINGS HOME THE COOL WHIP. My hat's off to you for working so hard and having to take care of kids too. I don't know how you manage. Hopefully, your hubby will pick up the slack. Altoids or that sort of candy should help. I'd recommend one without sugar. You're going to have to find a way to start eating more to keep some weight on as you're losing too much too fast. Don't fret too much over the viral load. It takes a short time for Pegasys to kick into high gear. It sounds reasonable to me that your doc would take you off tx after 12 weeks if you didn't achieve, or come close to it, the 2 log drop at week 12. It'd save you alot of misery when you would have little chance for SVR. Get some rest and EAT..EAT..EAT!!! elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum Oh I am not looking after any kids Elmo - My hat is off to those that have too! My kids are grown and have gone forth and multiplied lol.. Mags > Getting emotional over whipped cream is pretty much par for the course > on tx. LOL. At least it didn't turn you suicidal.

Just stick it out, that's the best you can do. Gordo Oh mags, that is priceless! I had a bad attack of riba-rage at work one day. Mind you, I work in a prison and being anything other than cool, even, and professional is definitely not good. Well, they came around on inspection (military-style) and I had a serious problem with the clothing and appearance of one of the inmates. He actually wore panties and rolled the waistband down to advertise himself. Quite repulsive. Anyway, along comes the poor C-Unit manager and I started on this guy's clothing. Before I was done I was shouting and shaking my finger in the unit manager's face and he was backing down the hallway! The poor guy ran when he saw me coming for months, so I couldn't even apologize. Needless to say, all the inmates thought Ms. White was some kinda cool for backing the man down like that. Ms. White still feels like an idiot. > Hello fellow heppers in hepperland.

It's not suggested to tell a cop to go f.ck himself, then wrestle and punch him. I made it all the way across town in my soda truck before they pulled me over, dragged me out and shoved my face in the pavement. I might have gotten further away except that I got stuck in traffic at a traffic light. The best part was in court when I got off with a minor fine and the judges statement that I was the luckiest guy in court that day. My NP testified on my behalf that I was out of my mind and shouldn't be held accountable. elmo Dez evidently punches harder than I do. He broke the cop's jaw. But I'm better at eluding capture than he was. Try outrunning the cops in a soda truck. It aint easy. Dez had a Harley. ahahahahaha!! ///////// Oh mags, that is priceless!

Wasn't it that same cop that eventually gave us the news about Dez? Me, I just wanted to push cars off the overpass with my SUV, that's when they decided to put me on anti-D's. Thing is, at the time it seemed perfectly logical and justified. Dwight > My best riba rage episode got me arrested. It's not suggested to tell a > cop to go f.ck himself, then wrestle and punch him.

Odd....very odd. No, it wasn't the cop that let us know Dez had passed on. It was a coworker of his. Dez had a most wonderful loving wife and kids. What a shame he left us all. elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum I miss Dez......

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum Towards the end I went to the Fred Myers store for a bottle of Ibuprofen. It had the magnetic anti-theft strip on it and the checker didn't neutralize it. Well I threw the receipt in the trash on my way out. Of course the alarms start going off as I pass through the sensors. Now my state of mind was "at the end of my rope" at 10 months of treatment. "SIR, SIR, WAIT"... I snapped around, "WHAT!!!!!!!!????" The gal gets a funny look on her face, almost taking a step back, "I need to see your receipt please" Now I'm about ready to f.cking blow and kill and maim.. I shout, "IT,S IN THE GODDAMN f.cking TRASH CAN!!!!!" as I storm back over to the checkout stand, threw the lid off and start digging around. hahahahaha I find it and hand it to her, she has this look of shock and disbelief and I walk out. Man I did not want to be around people on that sh.t. SignatureRuss Visit Alaska @ http://www.tannersacre.com > But Dez became friends with the cop.

Though something as simple as whip cream, I can see you point 2nd time bringing home oil. LOL And cool whip does not fit the criteria either. hehe Better write the list on his arm in large letters. He is going to need practice shopping it will get better. I can remember that I wanted to call the cops on walmart due to a broken thread on a shirt. My son really thought i was nuts and aimed to never go there again as long as I was on tx. LOL I had most all my problems driving and wanting to drive my car into others to teach them a lesson. I drove allot at 90mph every time I could and was lucky to never get a speeding ticket.. I once threw a pile of wood in front of the door and then walked over it and fell it made me laugh. Tx just has its way with you. Hang in there and ride the roller coaster.. Juanita Thats what I love about this group - we can all relate to these stories and it keeps our mind off the dreaded treatment! Mags > LOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOL Megs you sound like your on tx.
