Well this has been an interesting journey.  I am trying to sort out in my
head what to expect, why things have happened and how I will get through
this.
Week one I was very ill with flu like symptoms, fever, chills and a general
disbelief about what was happening to me lol. Lost 6 pounds.
Week two I had a down day and went a little berserk over cool whip (I will
never look at that product again without those memories).  Was down for a
while and suffered fatigue and headaches.  I go to bed at 6ish and sleep
until the next morning.  Lost 6 more pounds.
Week  three, lots of brain fog and I actually think I had the flu.  Half of
the office was off with a nasty flu bug and I blamed my fevers on my tx
(makes it easy to blame tx for everything)  Food was revolting to me and I
was getting really weak and dizzy just standing up.  Lost 4 more pounds.
Shot 4 was last night and I didn't get fevered, chilled just a headache
which I am going to manage with tylenol.  I tend to not take tylenol and
suffer.  Not this week, am going to try and get relief from these symptoms.
How does interferon effect me - I believe its responsible for revving up my
body temp., diarrhea, flu like symptoms.  The aefects seem to dissipate by
Wednesday.
The Riba - I am not sure about other than the brain fog, metal taste in my
mouth (I am pleased to announce that disappeared after last week) and
heightened sensitivity to light, noise etc.
I hope my diary here is helping some of you - I always like to be prepared
for what MAY happen.
