I'm 20 days past Tx and need support.

I'm feeling a bit more strength each day but my fatigue levels seem to
be increasing--'couse I'm trying to walk 30 mins a day, too.

I still have some weird combo of nervous system whack-out and inner-
ear instabilities--lean too far that way and oops, watch it!

Advice, comfort, slap in the face?

Even though I went through tx, I still really don't know how long the combo
drugs persist in the body, but I would imagine it takes some time to get the
last of them flushed out. Towards that end, keep drinking lots of water!

I felt a noticeable "lift" in both body and soul starting about a week after
the last Peg shot, though most of that was likely due to the anemia starting
to ease.  From there things improved slowly but surely, but it was a good six
months before I felt I was getting close to pre-tx shape on most counts, and
almost a year before my fine motor skills fully returned. For whatever
reasons, my hands were significantly impacted by the year on combo, and this
took the longest to finally resolve.

Don't be too hard on yourself pushing the rehab efforts. Some things just take
time, and for sure 3 weeks isn't enough.

Cheers - and be well.

What he said :)  Be patient, Alex.  You spent a LONG time putting
poisons into your body, give your body time to get rid of them
and heal itself now.  3 weeks is hardly any time at all... it
took me months to feel human again and actually find myself with
ENERGY and WANTING to do things!

Little by little you'll notice yourself doing more and feeling
better, but it's not real obvious, it's slow and steady.

take it one day at a time.... and be good to yourself :)

Normin, Thip, Greyhackles,

Thanks a heap!

Sara already joined and I've added more info to it but here's a
reminder of the Dragon Fighters group I've started (low traffic):

Well Alex I would have joined but the membership requires that I live in the
USA and I will never give up my birthright so unless I register from a
phoney place, I cannot Join.

Not parochial, not personal, just sound business strategy-- their
advertisers target USA customers with health concerns, so they restrict
membership to that demographic.

So you can now feel more kindly towards the "parochial" website creators,
who are just trying to make a livng. Personally, I avoid these sites because
they prey upon sick people's fears and desperation. Usenet is chaotic, but
it's... well, authentic :-)

Wanna know a good one?   I was checking out he contents of my local
settings/temp dirctory and I found a folder in there called 'outlook
logging'.  It sounds suspicious, eh?  Well I opened the folder and found one
file.  FirstTry.log   So wondering about it, I googled it.  And sure enough
the competitive edge of our wonderful 'opportunity to sell anything to a
rube' ethic was well displayed, some hits warned of bugs or critters
infesting the system and only such and such a registry cleaner can be
trusted to get rid of it spick and span.  But anyone who has questions about
deleting files should know that anything in a temp file can be deleted, that
is unless you are in the middle of installing something.  zap.  the whole
collection of tempis fugit wound up in the trash can.  Business is pretty
courrupted in a lot of ways.  The only reason that website does not allow
someone from outside the USA to register is because they forgot to expand
the drop down.  Just narrow vision, that's all.  At least they are not
expanding on nothing, expecting that nervous nellies might subscribe to
their cleanser software offer.

Are you sure the oops-over-you-go is tx related?  Just curious, because I
have the same problem.

Comfort...slap in the face....naw, neither one.  You MADE it.  YOU DID IT.
Go drink a gallon of water and then leap tall buildings at a single bound.
