"HAPPY THANKSGIVING from West Palm Beach, FL!!"

The quantity I took Mood
Sunday, November 1, 2009

4,320 micro grams of intereferon

 

201,600 mg of riba

 

336 pills

 

In 24 weeks.

 

My husband and his friend figured this out one evening, sitting on the back porch...

 

I'm on 4th week post tx.  Feeling much more clear.  I really didn't think I felt cloudy before...I mean, while I was on tx, I felt like I had it all together....now that I'm off the meds, I see that I didn't..lol.

 

My emotions are mellowing out some.  

 

BUt, I'm still having some sides??????    My mouth is sore, and I have been so tired last week.

I think maybe my morning walks, take everything from me?   I get so frustrated because I'm off tx yet, I still get so tired!   Oh, I shouldn't complain, because I've been getting some good nights sleep.  I wake up feeling so refreshed, FINALLY!

    No telling how long it takes for the meds to stop affecting your body. Keep up your walks, they are good for you!

two weeks off tx Mood
Monday, October 26, 2009 | A General Update story

and I'm feeling better each day.    As I look back on tx, I seem to forget how bad I felt at times, but I remember most of the good times I had during tx.  Yes, there were good times.  Getting to know ppl I have met here, were good times, for sure.   

 

I've been walking every day, and it feels good not to be breathless.   We went for a leaf cruise in North Georgia yesterday, and it was so nice to GET OUT!  Beautiful day.   Everywhere I went, I left hair...lol.  I feel the energy coming back, and it feels so GOOD!  Somedays, I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin, though.  

 

Now, my focus is getting my house back into order, the way I like it, and get back into my garden, and grow some winter veggies.  I have some large containers, that need filled with flowers, so on that note, it's of to HOME DEPOT.  

 

You all on tx, hang in there.   You can do this!  It get's hard, but in the end, it is worth killing this dragon!!!   I know, I feel better.  

I have so appreciated your support!   THANK YOU!!!

    My memory of you being on treatment is that you were always so positive.
    Even though deep inside I felt that you were less strong, you would never show it off, you would keep that positive attitude, and even joked a little.
    Come to think about it, you were a great Poster Warrior Picture through it all.

    Love the energy you spread.
    Now go on and have fun, we only have one life to live.
    Love & Much Respect love
