Penny, I'm sorry you got sick, but so glad that you are feeling better.  No

wonder you're emotional!  You've had an emotional year! I know it's a hard thing

to go through when your spouse loses his job, but I also know sometimes what

seems a bad thing turns out to be a blessing in disguise.  I'm praying that that

is just what this time will become for you and your DH.  You have such a great

attitude about life, it's so good to see this hasn't gotten you down!  Hang in

there sweetie!  I'm praying for you guys.

Love and hugs..........

Diane

Hi everybody,

I was fooled to think that I was getting by easy with the treatment

because I didn't have any fever, chills, or body aches Tuesday over

night after the shot. I did, however, wake up with a bit of a

headache yesterday morning. As the day went on, it got worse.

Finally, around 3:00, I was nauseous and had a big surprise...lost my

cookies... all water. I was drinking a lot of water because I was so

thirsty, and they stress that you should drink half your body weight

in ounces when you're on treatment. I already drink at least 8

glasses a day since they stressed that after the transplant, that I

must stay hydrated. I was nauseous off and on ever since. My

coordinator said the first 24 hours after the shot are the worst. My

24 hours started late, I think. I ate supper, one tiny piece at a

time, having to take a breath between each bite because each bite

made me nauseous. I started getting a back ache yesterday too, but

that's not a big deal. My husband called my coordinator when I got

sick, and she said I was drinking too much water, to not drink so

much. I started feeling much better by bed time, and ate the rest of

my supper that I couldn't finish earlier.

Today, I feel really good, except I am soooooo tired! I'm getting

more emotional too. I've been trying to read the posts, but they are

making me cry, so I'm kind of skimming over them. I'm not depressed.

I am smiling and laughing a lot, just a little more emotional than

normal. My appetite is still good, but I'm not liking my sweets as

much as I did, which isn't a bad thing.

My husband was let go from his job today because of cut backs, so now

he will be getting unemployment and money will really be tight. His

job has been getting really hard on his body anyway, and he has been

injured on the job a couple of times and has a Workman's Comp claim

in, so I think that has something to do with why he lost his job. He

now has high cholesterol too that he needs meds for, and he won't

have any insurance. Oh, well. Things will work out. I should call

Social Security and tell them so maybe I won't have to pay that $90

some that they take out of each check for Medicare.

My mom is still healing from her gallbladder surgery...very slow

going, still having some pain.

My dad has been having pain from kidney stones, and went to Urgent

Care today, had to give a urine sample, and the stone came out in the

urine sample. That couldn't have worked out any better.

I hope everyone is doing as well as can be.

Hi Penny,

I did treatment for 8 months only to be told it wasn't killing the virus.  I

thought I was handling it okay but I was angry all the time and didn't really

have an appetite. I hope you have better results than me and that you are able

to tolorate the side effects.

I'm sorry it didn't do the job for you. Will you try another

treatment? I think there is a treatment called Interfergon for

people who don't respond to Pegasys CoPegasys.

it as soon as i get off this computer i am on my knees praying for added

endurance for the extent of the treatment. Love in Christ sandra

Hi everybody,

I was fooled to think that I was getting by easy with the treatment

because I didn't have any fever, chills, or body aches Tuesday over

night after the shot. I did, however, wake up with a bit of a

headache yesterday morning. As the day went on, it got worse.

Finally, around 3:00, I was nauseous and had a big surprise...lost my

cookies... all water. I was drinking a lot of water because I was so

thirsty, and they stress that you should drink half your body weight

in ounces when you're on treatment. I already drink at least 8

glasses a day since they stressed that after the transplant, that I

must stay hydrated. I was nauseous off and on ever since. My

coordinator said the first 24 hours after the shot are the worst. My

24 hours started late, I think. I ate supper, one tiny piece at a

time, having to take a breath between each bite because each bite

made me nauseous. I started getting a back ache yesterday too, but

that's not a big deal. My husband called my coordinator when I got

sick, and she said I was drinking too much water, to not drink so

much. I started feeling much better by bed time, and ate the rest of

my supper that I couldn't finish earlier.

Today, I feel really good, except I am soooooo tired! I'm getting

more emotional too. I've been trying to read the posts, but they are

making me cry, so I'm kind of skimming over them. I'm not depressed.

I am smiling and laughing a lot, just a little more emotional than

normal. My appetite is still good, but I'm not liking my sweets as

much as I did, which isn't a bad thing.

My husband was let go from his job today because of cut backs, so now

he will be getting unemployment and money will really be tight. His

job has been getting really hard on his body anyway, and he has been

injured on the job a couple of times and has a Workman's Comp claim

in, so I think that has something to do with why he lost his job. He

now has high cholesterol too that he needs meds for, and he won't

have any insurance. Oh, well. Things will work out. I should call

Social Security and tell them so maybe I won't have to pay that $90

some that they take out of each check for Medicare.

My mom is still healing from her gallbladder surgery...very slow

going, still having some pain.

My dad has been having pain from kidney stones, and went to Urgent

Care today, had to give a urine sample, and the stone came out in the

urine sample. That couldn't have worked out any better.

I hope everyone is doing as well as can be.

Penny

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks so much for your prayers. I'm actually not complaining. It

could be a lot worse. It is going better than I expected. I just

hope it continues to go as well with minimal side effects. Everyone

tells me that the first shot is the worst, so if that's true, this

shouldn't be bad at all.

You can order a calendar now on the organization's site. My dog, my

husband, and I are in the month of September.

They cost $20 plus $2 for shipping, and you can pay with Paypal. If

you don't have Paypal, it is easy and free to sign up for an

Hi ,

Thanks so much for your prayers. I'm actually not complaining. It

could be a lot worse. It is going better than I expected. I just

hope it continues to go as well with minimal side effects. Everyone

tells me that the first shot is the worst, so if that's true, this

shouldn't be bad at all.

You can order a calendar now on the organization' s site. My dog, my

husband, and I are in the month of September.

http://www.petsnpat ients.com/ getorder3. php

They cost $20 plus $2 for shipping, and you can pay with Paypal. If

you don't have Paypal, it is easy and free to sign up for an

account.

I didn't mean that I thought you thought I was complaining. I was

just saying I can't complain because it could be so much worse. I

have heard lots of horror stories about this treatment. I will share

all I can because I know I looked and looked for what other people

said how the treatment affected them, and I hated hearing all the

horrible stuff. I know how much I wanted to know, so I figure other

people would want to know how it goes too, and that it doesn't always

have to be so horrible.

Yeah, I somtimes don't post for a week. Here is the link you asked for. I found

Moreena's blog in the spring of 07, right around the same time I found this

support site. There is a nurse named Beth from s Hopkins who has a blog

called " pixelrn " and it was one of her posts called " liverland " that Moreena had

used in her own blog post. I was moved from the very beginning, and it inspired

me to write a blog. Here are all of those links,

love bobby
