FOURTENTH INJECTION

FOURTENTH INJECTION

Monday again and number 15 awaits.  Bring it on; I hope it will bring a repeat performance of last week.

At last the antidepressants have started to work and I have felt better.  Maybe I have got past the 6 to 12 week horror period they talk about.  I do not care whether it is one or the other; I feel better and that is good enough. However, I am only at times sleeping for two hours a night, but my head is not racing so I try to chill.

I have also changed the way I lead my life maybe that has helped too.  I now wake up, take my painkillers, let them work, have breakfast and chill out in bed watching telly (and dozing) till I am ready to move.  Very decadent, but it has given me nicer afternoons and evenings.

Two weeks ago I thought I could not go on for the duration; now I see that feeling that bad as a ‘marker’.  Okay, I do not feel brilliant, but after the last two weeks it is like heaven. And I am trying to enjoy it, you never know if the waves will come again.

I am on 48 weeks, but J.J. from the Trust tells me that if I respond I can always re negotiate at 24 weeks. Keeping it in mind, going the flow.
We seem to have similar sides on tx, dont we.
Thanks for the support, says she putting her fighting boots back on...

Hey there Lili,
It is so good to read your post. Bring it on! :)
I'm glad you got there eventually with the cipramil and breakfast in bed with the telly sounds good too. Just don't get too used to the christmas and new year tv programme, it will be back to Oprah and Judge Judy in a few more days:)
Happy new year Lili

Hi Poppy, Hi HepC boy

Third of jan today, and feeling rather good. Dont know whats happened but enjoying it while it lasts. My energy is on the up too, even today, day after jab?

HepC boy,
re renegotiating. this was suggested because I am geno 3. not 1 and therefore normally on 24. my specialist went for the 48 due to liver damage. I will be getting results of viral load on the 9th (fingers crossed). did not have a viral load before tx because this is only done for geno 1s. whatever happens, if things continue as they are, i shall opt for the safest option (48). And i thought i coouldnt surf! I seem to be riding the waves pretty well, and my new year has started really well; lovely to see glimpses of the real me.
Hope you have a good one too.
