Tatezi, I am worried about your rapid heartbeat too.....I had that when I

tried the old combo....in fact, I still have it and am going to a cardiologist

after having an ECG. That's one of the many reasons I quit the treatment....my

heart was racing so fast I couldn't take my pulse and then I started getting

chest pains. I think it's from the riba rather than the interferon....which

could be why they told you to drop a pill. But that's not acceptable in your

case. Try to sleep as much as you can this weekend and go to the hospital

immediately if you get chest pains or your heart is racing. I don't know the

numbers like Claudine does but you're way too low for hemoglobin. I'll feel

better

knowing you can get ahold of your doc on Monday....please, do nothing

physical ok?

I agree take it slow. I had that same problem while on treatment, but I put

it off to the fact that I received two air emboli with the same injection that

gave me Hep C. So........

Hi all...with an update

And I haven't had a cigarette in 10 days. Really didn't want or plan to quit

(cigarettes are my only vice in life...I think everyone deserves at least one

vice). Got up one morning and decided to see how long I could go without a

cigarette...went all day relatively easily. Next day I got up and decided to

see if I could go all day again. That was 11 days ago. Today I'm going to try to

not smoke and then it will be 11 days.

Tatezi-

Congrats on not smoking! Hopefully you'll be able to keep it up-it is an

expensive habit nowadays. Not like the good old days of 25 cents a pack!
