More incivek byproducts bite the dust: over the last 2 weeks of taking it, I'd developed and intermittent sore throat and, even more uncomfortably, a sore roof of the mouth. 10 days after finishing it, these are gone. Excellent! My general energy levels are up as well; it's a pity that my hemoglobin is so low that 5 seconds of activity leaves me exhausted and out of breath. The general achiness in muscles, probably due to interferon, is becoming more prominent. Also, in general, muscle fatigue is ever-present: walking my 1 mile or so from the MAX to work and back makes my legs sore, my chest tight and even an occasional spinny sensation. I am pretending that walking that mile very slowly is my equivalent of cardio exercise and is actually good for me. In fact, it probably is, and I sometimes even get a bit of a second wind towards the end of that walk...:) Yes, I feel decrepit!
My GE recommended against having any surgery, no matter how minor, while on treatment. So I rescheduled my granuloma removal for September. It seems rather insignificant now, since it has healed and barely bleeds nowadays. Ah well!
