Re: Good ole Shot Day..

TrudyIs the worst of this treatment, the fact that it zaps all of your energy?I know that it comes as a shock to some folks and especially if the person was generally active. It hit me that way when I did my first round of tx. I certainly did not run marathons or climb rock bluffs; but, I still was a hyperactive. However, I took the HepC nurses literally when they said that, for at least the first couple of days after a shot, just plan to do nothing. So nothing is what I did!! Sure, there were times when I actually wondered if I was was milking the cow; but, as fast as that thought went through my brain, I fell asleep again.Starting on Monday, I may or may not have enough energy and as long as the brain fog lifted, I could do a little bit of

work. I'm a bookkeeper for small businesses, so having my facilities is very necessary. Then, the rest of the week, leading up to the next shot, I would feel better and better. However, I was most often in bed anytime after 8:00pm and never went out of the house during the evenings.Then, coming through that tx; it left the Fibro in its wake and I found that even more difficult to accept.. I spent the last 6 yrs wondering if I would ever bet anything like the old me back. Well, I'm here to tell you that I'm back!!! Yes, the Fibro still leaves me hurtin and fatigued at times; but, nothing like it was. Every day I just keep feeling better and better.Honestly Trudy, allow yourself the down times absolutely free of what you think you should be able to do. When you get through the 5 stages of grieving your lost health you'll get to acceptance. That

way, you will come through all this crap a much better person for your perseverance. Plus, you'll be HepC free!!! Just imagine the day when you and your hubby hook up the 5th wheel again and you are off together on the next job!! Then the old Trudy, with much more experience, will come shining back out - even better!!Luv Gloria Noon tomorrowis

Shot Time. Mixed emotions; hate it, dread it; chalk up another week; means another week closer to target date! http://facebook.com/people/andTrudy-Kinsey/1340460877 " "A well- behaved woman never made history"...Mae West http://oktravels.wordpress.com http://allrecipes.com/cook/TrudyK/profile.aspx
