Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi, Deb. Looks like I go first. As you know, I am in week 37 of tx. I take shot # 38 tomorrow night. I haven't heard from my last weeks labs, but my dr is not real concerned with my sides as all my labs have been excelent. Still a little low on white and red count, but improved from the last tests, etc. Yesterday, I noticed a soft knot on the back of my left hand. It's soft and easily mashed down and doesn't hurt when I mash on it. And, my neck is stiff. I can't turn it to the right or to the left very far at all. I'm wondering if this is a tx side or do I need to see my general practice dr. I've had three pretty good days in which I felt like doing things and moving around the house. However, today it's a chore to do anything. I have to make myself keep up with yesterday. I'm close to done with tx so I know it's buildup. I'm drinking water, taking lactolose and eating more lately. Any insites would be appreciated. Hugs, VickieG Hi To Everyone A good Monday to all and start of another new week.

It IS unigue by the cough makes you feel as if something needs to come up (phlegm) ut yiour dry..All other symptons were as usuall flu virus goes..They have not put a name on this particular strain...such as the blue bellied Tasmanian flu...Virgin Chicken type A.....but they might!!
