Well, the packers are done for the season, but we took

a good run at it. When it's all said and done we can't

complain about the season. NEXT YEAR! They're going to

beat the Eagles for the NFC championship and go to the

superbowl!! (we packer fans are an optimistic group)

I've talked to others who started out feeling just

fine, then after the 2nd or 3rd shot started getting

sick. For me the 1st shot was the worst. It does get

better after a while, your body adjusts somewhat to

the meds. The last several months of treatment it was

mostly fatigue and the brain fog, the other " flu-like "

symptoms were much less frequent. Good luck, I hope

you start feeling better. Going to work and reading

emails (or books) was all I did throughout the whole

treatment.. -dz-

Terry,

I will be praying for you.... Some say the sides aren't as bad as

time goes by.... I think a few of the guys missed a few days of work in

the beginning.... Which treatment are you doing???? The 3 shots or the

once a week? When I was on treatment they didn't have anything but

interferon.... No pills to go with it...... You will be fine and we are

here for you if you need us......

Angel Hugs,

Diane

Hi Terry

Hang in there. For most of us the side effects that you are having become a

bit more tolerable with time.

Thanks Dave..I know it is a pain in the (i) to have them both at the same time..I don't have the fever anymore but still have a bad cough..My cough med. has hydrocodone in it..All you take is 1 tsp. every 6 hours//Now that's strong cough med. I am very weak though..Real dizzy when I get up and walk around..This damp weather we are having doesn't help me either..Oh well it'll just take a little time to get back to normal..But you know with having Hep C it is harder on us to get well than someone who doesn't have it...Get in touch when you can......

I took a " family medical leave " for 2 months. There is

a federal law that requires them to allow the leave

with proper documentation from your dr. Whether or how

much you get paid depends on your company short-term

disability policy. As I am salaried, I just got my

regular check. I was ready to go back to work after 4

weeks, but had to get a dr's release to go back, so I

ended up with 5 weeks off. It was very helpful to me.

By then things had settled down with the meds. -dz-

Hang in there, my wife also is just getting over

bronchitis, she also had the codeine cough syrup, but

I don't think she had the flu. Anyway she has been

suffering with this for several weeks, it seems to be

getting better now. Take it easy. Better days are

coming, although we don't yet know when.. -dz-

You're doing great. Just remember it gets better! You

prayers as well. I recall too well the first couple of

weeks of treatment. -dz-

My grandson is now 3 1/2 years old and gets the IVIG treatments, we have been

very lucky since he has started them he is much better, he has not needed to

be on antibiotics, or had to go to the hospital for infections (for a year

now), your son's igg level is not good, it wasn't even as good as my

grandson's when we increased his amount of igg in the IVIG. I know that some

people (religions) do not believe in this kind of treatment, but the

difference in my grandson is like night and day. I can't believe God would

allow us this knowledge to try to help these little ones, and then not expect

us to use it. But i also understand we all must chose for ourselves. i hope

this was helpful, i do not mean to be negative in any way.
