Day 247 and 248

Hi All


Tuesday
Every thing still well and I am definitely seeing some improvement in my days following the Injection. Did some more small jobs outside and generally keeping my mind occupied on other things, as I find this is very helpful.

Wednesday
Today was a bit of a washout, felt really tired all day and slept quite a lot, felt OK otherwise, just this overwhelming tiredness which I don't fight and retired to my trusty cave and rested. I awoke feeling much refreshed and clear headed. The rash is going well and I did have some Thrush starting but nipped that in the Budd quickly with my trusty anti Fungal Lozenges... We have also had some very good rain and it topped up our water tanks nicely for us and has given the surrounding countryside a nice green look instead of the desert brown that it was....


Be Good...

Day 246

Howdy

Had my Gp appointment today and all was good and even put on some weight finally, yes folks the walking skeleton now looks a bit more healthier. My weight now is 62.9 Kg and last week was 61 kg, at last something positive and woo hoo for that. Felt really well today for a Monday and hoping this keeps up, as I feel the slightly lower dose of Interferon is helping my moods and emotions. Have to go for another Blood test this Thursday and the GP also mentioned that I may have to extend TX to try and Kill the HBV as well, something I will face after I finish this 48 weeks for the moment, to be honest the thought of another 24 weeks is very daunting after this lot, but I suppose I am lucky to have this opportunity and help repair my body..

Feeling Good and Be Well my Friends

Day 244 and 245

Hi Everyone

Saturday
Had my 35Th Injection and the dose was .4 on the Redipen, all seemed OK and had a good night after it. Its nice to get some good sleep now and again as many nights after my injection are usually very unsettled.

Sunday
Still feeling OK and only had a slight headache, which I haven't had for a while, so basically just took things easy, its nearly been a week since I had my Swine Flu Vaccination and so far don't feel any adverse reactions to it, mind you when you feel like you have had the flu for nearly 9 months it's hard to tell really.The weather was hot and windy here today and not really good to be out in, so just stayed indoors and caught up on some reading....

Have a Great Week Everyone

Day 243

Hi There

Well another weekend is nearly upon us again and heading towards Christmas fast, my physical sides have been good again today, but my temper got a little frayed again today.Took some time out when I thought I was getting narky at times through the day, I rang the Clinic Nurse today to see if I could take .4 of the Interferon this Saturday instead of the .5as my weight has even gone lower from when I spoke to her last. The Nurse also asked me to get another Blood test next Thursday as to see if my bloods took a dive and if not, the Specialist said we will try 4.5 on the Redipen and see how this goes.

I am hoping that this reduction helps with my mental and emotional sides and if so I will be more than happy..

Rest Easy and Be Strong

Day 242

Hello All

Well today was another quite day and still more sleeping was done, I just roll along now and don't fight this part of the Sx. One thing I feel I must say is that how fragile our lives can become and how others can have a positive effect on our emotions. The last few days have been strange to say the least emotionally and it sometimes takes the friendship and caring from others to balance one's self out.

Perspective changes on TX and a whole gambit of emotions and thoughts start flowing and more often then not intermingle with each other causing mental mayhem at times. When this occurs it tends to make me question things very deeply and often become very confused about my general direction in life, I know this is the Interferon playing its usual mind games with me and have learnt not to make any life changing decisions whilst on TX.

I would like to wish Jb all the very best at this point in time and to thank him for providing the funding for this forum and his ever supportive friendship to us all here at Nomads Wishing you well and a speedy return to us all Mate.

Day 238 to 241

Hello Everyone

Haven't posted diary entries lately as I have been working through some things here, I have been feeling OK and Injections are working out alright now.My bloods have risen quite a bit and is a good improvement from a month back, down side is my weight is now 61 kg and clothes are falling off me, but will address that next and sort that out. Cough is slowing down good and the rash now is nearly non existent, so pleased that has left the building and definitely don't ever want it back under any circumstances. Moods and temperament are so so and basically just retreating to my cave when this happens...

Day 237

Hi

Another day in paradise here today folks and enjoyed it very much, had my full strength Injection tonight and so far so good, trying to keep a positive outlook on this as it goes so as not to Jonah myself into something unpleasant, the mind can do some funny things at times..

A few fellow Nomads have enjoyed getting their SVR recently and its great news and good incentive to everyone else either contemplating or doing Tx that helps us get through this journey of a life time.

So to all these people I congratulate you all on an outcome of the best kind...
John
