Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / February 2007Shot 48
Hi all, Took my last shot this evening. 3 more days of "riboflavin" and I'm out. For those of you who have been here before, how long does it take for the side effects to start wearing off after EOT (anemia, etc)?

Anemia usually resolves itself within a month or so. elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Graham Congratulations, Graham! Let me tell you, you're not going to miss the Riboflavin (haha) and the injections. About the side effects, well, I started feeling better the first day I didn't take my riboflavin, but I think that may have been more psychological than physiological. But, it just kept getting better from there. Within six months I was stronger, more clear-headed and healthier than I had been in a decade. No sh.t. Enjoy, you're gonna have a great summer! Waterspider Today was my first day "clean", and the study nurse basically told me the same. Apparently, most people don't realize how bad they really felt until three months after EOT. I'm looking forward to it. Graham >> Hi all, >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >Waterspider > Today was my first day "clean", and the study nurse basically told me > the same.

Found myself noticing "dust" on the bureau the other day, and realized that it wasn't long ago that I would not have even noticed it and even if I did, and it was 10 inches deep, I wouldn't have cared, LOL! Things have improved vastly, but there are still bad days - like today. I can usually figure if I knock over my coffee before I get more than two sips , its gonna be one of THOSE days.... Sunday morning I got up early and noticed the sun rising over the trees outside the large picture window in the kitchen and decided to just stay up (early!) because it was so nice, and the sun felt good. Gosh it felt good to feel good. Most things have improved, and hopefully will continue to get better abd better :) >I like the way the nurse put it - I am two months post tx now, and >only a couple of days ago, my S.O. commented that it is nice to see me [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >sun felt good. Gosh it felt good to feel good. Most things have >improved, and hopefully will continue to get better abd better :) I know what you mean. For awhile, I thought it might be better if I just plotted a couple of 36"x48" drawings, laid them on my desk, and dumped a cup of coffe on them. That way, I could just get the inevitable out of the way early on. Kind of a "swallow a live toad first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen the rest of the day" strategy. As far as getting up early, I have two dachshunds that start forming up the chow line every day at EXACTLY 6:30 am. Usually, I just feed them and go lay on the couch. Maybe I'll start looking out the window a bit myself. Graham |
