Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Wow, it's been really quiet here lately...sure hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying spring. My two favorite seasons are Spring and Autumn. Spring with new beginnings and Autumn to release the old to make room for the new. I love watching the trees bud and the tulips and crocuses sticking their little leaves out from our Earth Mother. I love seeing the first robin and watching the grass turning back to green. Probably the only thing I don't like about Spring is trying to decide what outer wear to put on when going outside... My little update. I'm in week 38 of pegasys and the last 6 weeks have been a little rocky. My plateletts took a nose dive but with extra calcium and taking vitamin K, I managed to pull them up to 80+ so the doctors at County have quit threatening to pull me from treatment. I've also become very anemic...in the course of 2 weeks I went from normal (12-16%) down to 4%. Boy is anemia a miserable thing to live with. I can't even walk up the stairs to my apartment without stopping halfway to catch my breath and let my heart rate slow down. They dropped my ribavarrin dose by 200mgs. 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. So how are things going with you folks. It always fascinates me the ups and downs with out group...well, I guess with most support lists. Hope you are fine and enjoying spring...
