Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Hello, WS. Since your experience is so diametrically opposed to mine, I figured I'd share my experience. Due to circumstances beyond my control, my visit to the Drs office to be instructed in how to and to receive my 1st shot was in early afternoon. I spent several nervous hours waiting to see what my " sides " would be ... after all, I had read ALL the literature ... I knew I was gonna pay somehow for daring to fight the dragon. Then later, after supper, I took my first Riba dose. Within a half-hour I felt like I was totally dragging (dragon?). As if the power plant that was me had been shut down to 10% power (Cap'n the engines canna take it!), And worse still, I had the chills & shakes!! I got dressed in flannel pjs, thick socks, and a thick housecoat (Did I mention it was July in Texas?) ... finally, I was soooo cold I went outside in the 95 degree heat in my winter ensemble and after an hour was finally comfortable enough to go back into the house. For me, I look forward to my shots. I've noticed (for me at least, unless it's totaly psychsomatic) the day I feel absolutely worse is the day before and the Morning of the shot. And the day I feel best is Thursday afternoon and Friday (the day of and the day after) And ... oddly enough, over the course of therapy, my husband says I've turned PINK! He always thought Olive tones were me, it came on soooo slowly (however, my wedding pictures show a complexion that Morticia Addams could appreciate) and each week, especially when I compare it to a year ago (I started tx 7/03) ... I now actually feel stronger (although I really still felt like doo-doo as little as 2 months ago ... in fact, I had almost convinced myself that I was dying (and was determined to be a brave soul). However, my last shot (#55) will be 8/19 ... and then the 6 month countdow ... Too much stream of consciousness, but one more set of thoughts to share ... years ago, I had read that diabetic patients when given their insulin injections would get more immediate results if they used their stomach but more sustained results if they used their thighs ... the original interferon was suceeded by the Peg-Interferon BECAUSE it had a longer sustained release AND better results than the original. To make a long story only a little shorter ... because I have a healthy wuss streak and I could justify the rationale (sorta), I never gave myself a tummy shot (dangnation, I've got these thunderthighs I've been carrying around, might as well use them) (tummy shot seems too personal or at least too close to making myself admit this whole fandango is truly serious --- told ya!! Da Nile is my friend!). I don't know if that will make a difference or not in the long run. Before I started tx, my quants ran >6.85 log IU/ml (>700,000 IU/ml) ... which I found frustrating b/c I wanted a REAL number (don't labs know how to do Aliquots?) and every test since then has been less than 1.7 Log IU/ml or <50 IU/ml (again, why not a real number?) My next quant, and the proof of the pudding, will be 2/05. There is one side, my fault really, I have developed taste perversions ... (no puns, please) after one shot while removing the needle, I started bleeding (I musta gone thru a vessel) and I could feel the Peg in my blood stream ... warmer than usual (or maybe it was just the adreleline of the unknown) but then, I felt it on the tip of my tongue and it split going up both sides of my tongue (all at warp speed) ... since then all processed foods have tasted like cardboard or worse (one night we had Ranch beans and it tasted like soap)(my favorite Diet Cokes tasted like acid). Bottom line, I've lost 60+ lbs that I had truly believed were welded on permanently. WITH no hassle, melting off just as easily as they melded on. But all that truly tastes good to me (percentages of true remembered tastes) are fruits, veggies .... processed foods are now nasty tasting! What a WONDERFUL side! I don't mind so much being weaky some times (picture Hippo playing the cameo role of Camille ... though I am getting stronger now) Well, Thank you ALL for being there!! Before I discovered you, I felt so very alone and scared! Now, it's different ... it's a comfort to just lurk and know you're breathing the same ether. God Bless Us, Everyone! TT Lu.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 The only password iTunes should be looking for is for your Apple account. They use your account and billing info when you try to buy a song or movie. If you dont have one, you need to create an account. > Anybody know what the password iTunes is looking for? > (I know you don't know my specific password.) I've had > my iTunes for many years.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I hope this helps, -- I had to create a new password in iTunes when I wanted to write a review for IOWL. It's a different password from the one I've always used. I'm guessing this 2nd password is needed because any reviews you write will appear with this new identity. - In insideoutweightloss , jean davison wrote: > > Anybody know what the password iTunes is looking for? > (I know you don't know my specific password.)
