just some chatting about my treatment Mood
Tuesday, December 9, 2008 | A General Update story
     I had minimal side effects, I was lucky I didn't have to work, so I got to rest a lot.
     I just finished my treatment  Nov. 1st,  48  weeks 48 shots, I thought it would take forever then all of a sudden it was over.
     I only had blood work every 4 weeks. I had allergy  symptoms and  had to take Benadryl  most  of  the  year.
    Occasionally  there was running to the bathroom, about 1-2 times a week. I don't want to be crude, but I didn't always make it,  that was only once or less a month. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep some extra clothing in the car.
     My appetite changed,  I lost  about 70 lbs.  also taste buds  changed,  I quit coffee, I drink mostly just water.  I will say I never threw up,  but I never have pretty much ever, I seem to have a strong stomach,
   Now I get to wait 3 months  for  next  labs,  then my 6month labs.
It was worth it my viral load was almost 3million and was at  0  at my first month labs after I started the treatment an is still at 0.
     One last thing I have always had oily hair, and my hair dried up a lot on the treatment. If I would have known what I know now I would have went heavy on the moisturizing, I was in the habit of doing the opposite.
