Guest guest Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Holy smoke I'm glad I'm not the only one with junkie flashbacks!The first time I used that needle for tx my first reaction was to recap it and save it for later.....DAMN! That's been years and years, but I guess ingrained habits die hard...just glad that's far behind me.D, we're all pulling for you! I know you wanted to call it quits with the first shot, and here we are 4 more past that, good job lady! Keep the faith, we'll keep pulling for you.SteveLife is much more fun when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party. Jimmy Buffett [ ] 5th shot So tonight was my 5th shot! I usually have my sister in law do it for me bit tonight she was watching the NFL draft of something( not a football fan myself ) And Im sitting in the bathroom on the pot with a needle and an achol pad and Im sick to my stomach, I had some kind of junkie flashback and almost puked, but then I was like Junkies dont use alchol pads! Duhh lol. Anyways I am doing ok, still headachs and trowing up but I think I am getting use to it! Hope everyone is doing well.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Is it just me or does this stuff give you gas? I mean real bad painful trapped in your body gas? I get these weird stabbing pains all over the place, I mean not so bad that you cant move just weird sensations/pains. Also I am having some heavy breathing, I think im gonna have to give up the smoke, and I love my ciggs. There always there for me. lolim gonna try and get out of the house today, I figured if im gonna lay around in the house all the time, I want some new sweat pantss, Wal mart here i come. lol It is getting easier, I have my moments but i think im getting use to it. Also I am eating so much like exsevive! Is that a side effect, dont seem to be gaining any weight, i trow alot of it up! But im starving all day, I woke up from a nap the other day and just bit into a chunk of deli meat, did not even take the time to peal the slices apart. lolAnyway i love you all you keep me going. And the reason I was hiding in the bathroom, the first shot i did in the kitchen and my 2 year old came in right when it was in and she said, " mommys doing needles in the kitchen " Not wanting her to go tell people that. lol. Maybe i will try and hide in another room next time. Have a great Friday my friends. Love danielle Xoxoxoxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 The weird pains are from the Ribavirin. The gas... That is from what you are eating. Unlike a lot of people, you have an appetite during treatment. Most of us had trouble just getting the fluid intake down. I lost 100 pounds during treatment. I probably had one decent meal a week. Food all tasted different or horrible and the smell of some foods had me throwing my guts up. Watch what you are eating, try some bland foods for a couple of days and see if the gas doesn't go away. This treatment wreaks havoc on every system in your body, including your digestive tract. Try it and see what happens.Hang in there kiddo,TeriSent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerryFrom: "dbrown715907" <dbrown715907@...>Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 13:31:30 -0000< >Subject: [ ] Re: le/Teri - 5th shot Is it just me or does this stuff give you gas?
