Week 22-26

Week 24 PCR UNDETECTABLE Yippy!
Pretty sick last week. Had severe dizziness that gave me bad nausea. Just didn't want to get out of bed. Fatigue was really bad too. Missed 4 days of work. Doc gave me meds for dizziness and nausea, which seems to be helping. Thought maybe i had picked up a virus or maybe had some ear equilibrium issues or both, doesn't really know. i feel much better this week. my hemaglobin at week 24 is 13.5. Doc is amazed and so am i, because i'm just so utterly fatigued. He said "if you didn't tell me you were taking your meds and i didn't believe you, i'd say you weren'ttaking them, because your labs are so good for 24 weeks, usually people are very anemic at this stage" Trust me, i take every little stinking pill, every single day. Only my white and nuets were below normal , but not too bad. i know i am lucky.

About time you updated your freaking blog!!! Despite the prevailing wisdom about people not being able to catch a virus while on interferon, it happened to me too. Maybe the doctor could prescribe Neupogen to raise the WBC and ANC? Half-way there - yipee! Congrats again on the UD!

Hello??? What's been happening in the last 2 months? I lost track of what week you're in? Hey - do you live near Ormond Beach? I'm going there in late January, maybe we can get together, you'll be done then, won't you?
