Blecch. Nothing much to report. Mild fever with occasional chills that peaks about 3 hours after taking the pills and goes away. Itching: especially hands, and definitely connected to ribavirin: it only happens after my 9AM and 5PM doses when I take that one, and, again, persists for an hour or so 2-3 hours after medication. Frequent urination and general thirst, as predicted. (Yesterday I drank probably 1.5 gallons of Crystal Light and seltzer water--that's what I call keeping hydrated). Finally, and probably psychosomatically: I feel more energetic at night, and more fatigued in the monring (no more Mr Morning Person? I hope so! :)), and last night I seem to have slept better than any time in the past few years.
Meh, like I said, I am tired, going back to take a nap, but here's a link to alcohol/hep C connection: http://www.hepatitis-central.com/mt/archives/2007/10/living_with_hep.html

ReplyDeleteBut it's for my own good! :D Anyway, it is not that big of a deal...yet. Six months of that, and I can see how this therapy is associated with clinical depression as well! :)
