Warning Foul Language!

So Mags and Dort: You never knew a hair day could be so bad did ya? Well
Dort you snapped right out of it. That was good to see, and you sure
cheered me up yesterday too.  Thank you kindly, I needed that :) Good on
ya for sharing your research, I'm impressed.  

Magma you're sounding pretty snarly.  Is cool whip man ok?  Don't bite his
head off.  Grit your teeth baby - worry about the crowns later.

Mags, you asked about my sides.  I restarted tx in mid May.  It was hell
because I had already been through 12 weeks of it and flopped.  By mid
August I started coming out of the hole.  So that's 3 months of really bad
sides after the restart, but the Ifn dose was lowered for a few weeks.  The
first thing that eased up was the friggin anxiety that had me chasing my
tail 24 hours a day.  That just gets better every day ;)  I'm a fast
learner. I never sleep well because I never have. It's my curse.  My
whites counts dropped to 2.4, mostly because of the neutrophils. I started
Neupogen in August and that seemed to help, or else it was just a
coincidence. My Lexapro dose of 15mg had stabilized by then.  I also got
some family stuff sorted out by sheer force of will. I come from a long
line of ostriches and I'm married to a Taurus.

The one thing I can't stress enough is that you eat enough protein and
that doesn't necessarily mean meat.  You're both smart enough to know
that. It's easy to forget about drinking plain water, but that's a biggy.
I'm still having a hell of a time with electrolytes and blood sugar. My fat
reserves are shot so this last 6 weeks will be really touchy. My red blood
cells are probably undetectable. Lol. Do everything you can to feed
yourselves, which is totally opposite to your conditioning. You can't go
longer that 2 or 3 hours without a few bites. Read my lips.

I've been working on a disability claim and revisiting all this. Thank god
I'm a scrupulous record-keeper (it's a Virgo thing). HINT: You must
understand your own records, however, if you can keep records the Fat
White Bureaucrats will claim  you are not disabled. Can you spell nausea?
Where the forms ask about your Daily Activities, write: f.ck You. My MRI
report isn't pretty. Brain zaps la la la. See also "brain shivers." More
about that later.

So gals, shift into the lowest possible gear if you want to get through
this. No more bulldozing straight up the hill.  Side-hill from here on.
Go with the slope. Bag the over-achiever syndrome and consider wearing a
bourka.

I've got 6 more weeks riding this sh.t a.s mule then I'm getting the hell
out of Dodge. Then I'm going to sit you all down around the campfire and
tell you a story about recovery.

Well later then,
slow mo kjoh
snarling and stripping gears

P.S. I'm learning a lot about how doctors keep records. f.ckers. I would
just seduce them all but they know too much about my sordid past
