Sundays after my interferon shot are getting to be quite a drag. After shot #11 I am barely able to get out of bed and move around. going out for a bit tonight, because this may be the last Sunday for 13 more weeks that I am physically capable of doing so. It's like battling some nasty exhausting flu: weak, achy, etc. And this persists into Monday and starts wearing off by Tuesday, and by Friday I feel almost human again (other meds considered), in time for the next shot. Ugh!
Meanwhile, the rashes are growing, even though it seems I am rather lucky, overall. I have two really nasty patches: around my elbows (and, frighteningly, scratching them is almost orgasmic in its intensity), and several small ones on my back. Other people started having them 3-4 days into treatment, and by the point I am at, some had them over 60-70% of the body, including their face. So overall, I shouldn't complain.
My platelets stabilized around 55-60, which is pretty damn bad but at least not dropping anymore.
14 more days of incivek: things should get a little better after that!
Too tired to type...:)...will post some pictures of rashes later!
