At Peace Tonight

It's Friday again. I've taken my Peg-Intron shot and ribivarin capsules.

I've been in bed most of the week, with a few short walks, mostly to the grocery store. Today I read and enjoyed several articles in WIRED Magazine. What a relief to be able to think and take in information and ideas. Most likely this will not be possible again for several days, but it's comforting. It helps me believe there may one day be an end, or at least a significant amelioration, of my fogginess and low energy.

Did I tell you about the inflamed, red, itchy rash on the upper torso? Don't ask!

The second viral load test again showed significant decrease in the virus, meaning it is worth while to continue the treatment. The goal is "no detectable virus" at the end of treatment, and again six month later. Alevai - from your lips to God's ears.

It's Friday Again

Friday again; tonight I give myself another shot of PegIntron. En garde, virus! You don't hold all the cards anymore.

Tired, tired, tired of being tired - but it's all for a good cause.

Still Okay

Lon Chaney and Spencer Tracy get no competition from me. I gave myself the second shot of PegIntron last night. I did not turn into a werewolf or Mr. Hyde.

I have been feeling fluish, and low in energy. Intestinal cramps yielded to the usual remedies. More water, drink more water.

Anticlimax is better than fulfilled prophecy, in this case.
