37th shot, time is passing

Hello everybody, I hope you all aren't having bad sx.

I've took 37 shots so far and now I'm counting down.
I've been very busy the last few months and that's why I didn't really feel it's a long time, though I feel really tired sometimes.

So this was the best thing for me to avoid side effects:
KEEP YOURSELF BUSY!

Now, count with me, tomorrow I'll take the 38th shot, so I only have 10 remaining YAY.

Pharaoh I had just been asking about you and Bellamin and I just heard from you both today. Yes that is awesome news. Definitely have to force ourselves to be busy or we can easily get into a funk. Technically I have 10 more shots to go to. I'll do that countdown with you. I'm strongly considering doing an extra month but ill post my decision on that later. Was in an interferon-induced slump yesterday but feeling better.

Glad you are two. Worried about you honestly. I knew you were struggling last time you posted. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5. . . . . Life Back!!

I'm with you pharaoh, just did #38. I've kept busy (enough) too, mainly because I've felt pretty decent, for the most part. I try to ignore sx that aren't too bothersome. Sometimes have to talk to doc if I think there's a throat infection or something like that.

I'm glad to hear from you & that you're doing ok. ONLY 10 LEFT!!

OMG Mike that's amazing too!! (Two, too and to can be tricky here). I'm so happy for you both. You both more than deserve to be done with this just based on your efforts alone.

Pharaoh let's count down our 10 together. I actually might do 14 more. My jury of 1 (me) is still out on that one. If I stop then, then 1/18/2012 is my complete endpoint at 32 weeks. The remaining weeks still seem like an eternity. I'm having a very difficult time imagining 48. That is super significant.

2013 we welcome you.

You all amaze me! I give you so much credit for continuing to soldier on. I can't imagine doing 48 weeks but the countdown is on for many of you on this thread! It has been almost 1 year since i started treatment. Time moves on and soon, we will all want to be slowing life down again, just so we can enjoy it! God bless you all!
