Day 270


Hey there


Another hot day today ending with the usual summer storm, felt a bit better again today and went out to the next town to do some things. Its was good to get out and about for a while, the reflux is getting better and making me feel more comfortable.


Not sure whether I have a blood test this week or not, so will have to check that, still get plenty of brain fog and I have to have lots of notes to remind me..... LOL

Day 269


Howdy

Another very hot day again here today with temps in the 40's and it was 45 C yesterday, so not much chance in venturing outside, way to hot. Sx were reasonable and have started some reflux meds and also back on the Thrush Lozenges also, have to get these things under control. I am still taking my Lagactil medicine and it has helped my anger rages a lot, my Liver is still quite swollen and at this stage all I can do is virtually rest and take it very easy.

Well Thursday all ready tomorrow and this week is almost gone and Needle number 39 coming up this Saturday night, count down is on once I get to single figures, seems like an eternity at times.......

Be Good

Day 268


Hi


Today I went to my GP and told her about some swelling and discomfort around my Liver area which is quite tender at the moment, this isn't the first time I have had this, I used to get it before TX as well, each time this occurs it seems to be more so then the last, so I thought better get it checked out. While there She had mentioned to me about another Biopsy at EOT to see where my cirrhosis is up to and also may have some tests for cancer, mmmmm will wait and see on that front, one thing at a time, flat out getting through TX at the moment and at times is not easy for me. I guess I will stack it with the rest of the crap and just get on with it....


Stay Strong Everyone

Day 266 and 267


Hello


Well Sunday wasn't too bad a day and we had two lots of visitors over and had some good laughs also Sx was relatively kind and overall a good day. Still having trouble with my cracked tongue
and thrush, but making some headway with that with Meds...

Monday was a complete wash out, think I have been hit by a freight train, well it felt like it, I had absolutely no energy and was a weak as a kitten, I helped my wife change the bedding and I changed four pillow cases and was feeling faint and out of breath, think my bloods may be dropping again. The rest of the day all I could do was sit or lay down and just take it very very easy, better days to come....

Day 264 To 265


Hello Again

The last few days have been a bit of a wash out, usually Friday and Saturday's are my best days but this week for some reason, it's all different, just luck of the draw with Tx I suppose. Anyway I just rested and rolled with it and got through them.

Tonight I had my 38th Injection and so far so good, starting to feel it working and probably another night of restless broken sleep, but hey, I am used to that and soon better times are coming and will be looking forward to those. The Tx is sure one mixed bag of events and mystery......

Stay Strong

Day 263


Hi


Today was a mixed sort of day, overslept this morning and was feeling drained, had my shower and brekkie and my Ribas and picked up a little. Decided to just take it easy and watched some TV which I am usually never in the mood for while on Tx. In the afternoon went outside and did some very small jobs and within an hour I was exhausted totally and aching, it wasn't as if I was carrying bricks or anything strenuous, just picking up some small sticks and twigs after the recent storms.

I have also noticed some discomfort around my Liver area again, don't know why that is going on and will talk to Gp about it next visit. The days are warming up here but the nights are still cool.

Have a good day
John

Day 261 and 262


Hi Again

Tuesday night I slept all night for the first time in ages and it helped me feel better the next day and also gave me some solid rest instead of the usual creature of the night. Wednesday was also an interesting day, I felt in the mood for something to do outside, so I spent some of my good feeling catching up on the chores. A friend of mine on the Australian HepC Forum has started her second round of Tx and I would like to wish her well on her quest to rid the virus from her system.

Not to sure whether its the extra meds I am taking or the Tx, but my rash has been acting up again
and causing me some discomfort, back to the drawing board and the box of lotions and potions
again....
