Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Sorry, I don’t see your name……….just the fact that you reached out now is a start. I don’t work now, but I am sure it can be difficult when you’re going through this. Most days, I can’t drag myself out of bed so I can’t imagine having to get up, dress and go to work and act like a charming human! Just relax and rest. Don’t worry about not doing what you feel you should be doing. Do what you know must be done and no more. I realized that a while ago – if the floor isn’t swept, so what? Sometimes I find housework therapeutic, but if you’re tired, rest. And make sure your doctor knows how you’re feeling and keep track of your lab tests. When my hemoglobin dropped too low, I was put on Procrit injections and it snapped me back to normal fairly quickly. Vent…..I do it all the time! Someone always answers and makes me feel better when I think it’s not possible J Dorothy From: Hepatitis_C_Central [mailto:Hepatitis_C_Central ] On Behalf Of heethun666 Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 7:56 PM To: Hepatitis_C_Central Subject: Two Weeks Into Tx I feel like I'm some kind of a light weight or something (that male buck it up sort of thing), because after justg two weeks on treatment I'm absolutely beat. My job just drains me to the point that I do even less than I did before, which wasn't a whole hell of a lot. I guess I'm just venting about how totally blah I feel, knowing that it's only just begun, as the song says. I needed to write to you guys because I sometimes feel so very alone in what I do. I'm the only one that does my job in a three person department, none of whom I can share much at all past the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 When I first started tx for the second time, I thought, for a whole two weeks, that is is gonna be a lot easier than the first time. THEN it hit and I felt like it was a BIG truck that hit. I felt blah and worse for the rest of the time I was on tx. It simply comes with the territory. I told my doc and he said, just do what you have to to get by. I would have tiny spurts of energy and clean something, my bedroom or something. When my blood counts went low, I could not even make the bed by myself without panting and shaking. For now, your JOB is to survive and beat your dragon. That's all that can be expected of any one.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I just want to thank Sharon, Dorothy, Jackie and everyone on the list for their support. I guess after having an easy first several days and no real reaction to this first shot, I thought that Tx would less of a drag than most go through. Now the sleep disturbance I've heard some of you described has started, so I do intend to just do the bare minimum today. Well, the bare minimum at my place of employment and then get off early to really rest. Thanks again all, MikeJackie on wrote: YOU hand in there hon,, and remember,, this treatment is NOT forever!!! Please, respect your body, listen to what it is telling you,, if hungry, eat, if sleepy rest, dont overdo cuz it will take you down hard,, and above all else, be kind to yourself!!!
