Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / August 2006One down forty-seven to go.....
Well, I started tx today. The anticipation of giving myself an injection was much more painful then the actual injection. Had the injection a couple hours ago and so far feel ok , just a little warm. Well, guess I'm going to go lie around watch some movies.... Take care Hi Bob, Hope you stay feeling well, keep us in touch, Wishing u the best, Barbara > Well, I started tx today.

Bob you may want to consider doing your injection at bedtime -- I take 2 regular strength tylenol about an hour before, then I do the injection around ten pm.... and sleep thru most of the side effects. Sometimes I'm a little feverish next day, and/or headachy, but nothing that tylenol won't help. GL on your treatment! I hope it flies by for you. Sara > Well, I started tx today.

I've been on the roller-coaster since January (18 weeks to go!). There have been some other good suggestions here, such as taking the shot at bedtime with Tylenol, perhaps with a Benadryl to help you sleep. The only thing I'd add is to let you know that the sides usually tend to level off after a few weeks. The body is a pretty remarkable machine -- it tends to adapt. This is not much fun, but it's doable! Best of luck! -- Chris http://liverlog.blogspot.com >> Well, I started tx today.

Thank you for the reply and thank everyone here for the words of encouragement. I do plan to start doing the injection near bedtime on Friday. It was early today only because it was 'training day'. A a few chills this afternoon and I am feeling a bit worse (ok quite a bit worse) than when I posted this morning. However , it's certainly manageable. Off to drink some more water.....

I had the chills for an hour so along with other mild flu like symptoms a horrible headache. Saturday morning I was pretty close to feeling normal. One thing I have noticed is that I have been sweating a LOT. Is that a side effect of the tx? Bob >> Well, I started tx today.

Had the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> >> Take care > >How are you feeling Bob? > > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >> > >> Take care First few weeks were the worst for me. Typically, the body will adapt. Sweating and a screwed up temp regulator are typical. I typically take the jab on Friday and see the worst sides on Sunday afternoon, but it's now nothing I can't manage with Tylenol. Watch for shortness of breath and a racing heartbeat. That's an indicator of anemia which makes everything a hundred times worse. Hang in there. It gets better. cwk > >How are you feeling Bob? > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Bob Yes, sweating (diaphoresis) is one of the flu-like side effects of interferon. I experienced it mostly after the first injections, along with low-grade fever. Those sides stopped presenting after the first two or three weeks, and I understand that response is typical. --BG Re: One down forty-seven to go.....

It´s still late summer in Sweden 20-22C so i have the AC on at home all the time and drive around in my car whith the AC on low, it´s freezing inside and comfortable, im longing for a really survere winter. The sweating diminishes after a couple of weeks, for me anyway, so i hope things will lighten up for you too. Hang in there Bob, if you have a big deepfreezer, klimb in! Rgds /H |
