I did my shot on Tuesday night and rested, drank lots of water, then on Wednesday I became a chore maniac, not the kind of chore that is useful, I power sprayed the garage door, the driveway and walk ways, then I started feeling drunk, sort of, things started to spook me, I would see things out of the corner of my eye, and had trouble seeing in balance, my Mom said I was acting like I was drunk, I kept forgetting what I was doing, was so dizzy and my mouth was so dry, it was all strange but then when I went to lay down, I had pains like I had never had before and was so weak I couldn't get up or move.

 

I forced myself to get up through the pain and drank a ton of water and had to keep one eye closed to be able to see straight, I have a headache that is pounding, I got pretty scared but just waited it out, I am going to try to sleep now.

 

If this keeps happening I will call the Dr.

 

I probably need to eat more and drink water and keep forgetting what I am doing, I wonder if this is normal?

    when I would get a day like that, I didnt stop to drink water , you were dehydrating. Then I would carry a full bottle with me outside because I wouldnt stop to go in for a drink, I just kept thinking in a minute . Tke water everywhere ,even if your gone for only a trip to the store put a bottle in your purse, Im serious . I used to carry a six pack of water in a cooler in the back seat also . We need water constantly. hugs

    Yes, take your water with you. You don't have to be superwoman, you know! lol.
    Take it easier on yourself, esp the 48 hours after your shot.
    All those chores I put off during tx? Well, I'm finally getting them done, now...lol.

    Keep on staying strong!!!

    I hope you will be careful, and talk with your Doctor. I do not know a thing about Hep C or the Meds or side affects. Just call your Doctor or get to the ER if you feel something ain't right. Love and prayers,Peggy
