,

here’s what I did. I was off on weekends & that’s when I

wanted to feel my worst so I could feel good enough to work, so I started out

doing my shot on Friday after work. After the first shot, I soon

discovered it didn’t hit me for 24-30 hours, so I changed to Friday at

noon, then Friday morning then Thurs. night & ended up Thurs. right after

work (about 5-6:00). If I wasn’t able to go straight home after

work, I took my shot kit with me and did it at work about 4-5. On that

schedule, it kicked in about the time I got home on Friday and I was good to go

by Monday usually.

You

might want to plan the first shot for Friday afternoon so he can take care of

you that night, but later you night want to move it earlier so you can have

good time with him since your work schedule is flexible – once you figure

out you can handle it on your own.

Meds - Start Date

I just came back from picking up the Pegasys and Ribavirin from

the pharmacy. I will go to the Hepatologist on Friday (the 4th of

January) to get the educational instruction on the injections, so I am free to

start tx any time after that.

I wanted to get your input on tx start date for the 1st

shot. My husband's days off are from Friday starting between 2 am

and 6 am (at which time he goes to sleep -- usually sleeping until 11 am)

and he is off through Saturday around 3 pm. He works on Sunday. I

work from home on my own schedule so that is flexible. When would

you recommend that I do the 1st shot for the best time for him to be with

me?

My

opinion only, but where you work from home and are looking to spend a little

quality time, I think I would do the shot on Sunday nights. If you had bad

sides ( didn’t except the blood counts, and pneumonia doesn’t count,

lol) they should be over before the weekend hits again.

I may

have missed this already, been having a rough time of it and haven’t been

keeping up like I should… non-hep c related… but what kind of work

do you do at home?
