Yep, you're gonna do fine.

yeah, treatment seems unpredictable, take it easy bago

Sending good thoughts your way. Hopefully just a brief adjustment period. Keep hydrating Bagel. It seems to definitely help. Hang in there.

bago honey, what week r u in? Each shot is different. No rhyme or reason as to why it so different from one day, hell 1 minute, to the next. Just keep on truckin baby. I know people have heard me give this advice, but just in case u missed it...........

"ROLL WITH THE SIDES".......... DONT FIGHT THEM, THEY GET EVEN NASTIER!
wE'RE ALL HERE FOR AND WITH YOU SWEETIE!
LOVE YA!

bago, you're gonna have good and bad days especially if you feel good one day, and overdo it. The following day, your body is going to let you know that you over did and you'll need to rest up. The second week was actually my very worst time during the whole tx. Aren't you in your second week now? It might get a bit worse, then it gets better.
Whatever is happening, be sure and come here, and let us know. If it wasn't for these guys, I probably would have quit that second week, but then I came here, listened to these guys, and after that it became tolerable again. Just gotta pull your BIG girl panties up and onward you go. YOU can do this!
Hang in there. This too shall pass..
(((((((((hugs for bago))))))))))
Love,

Ok! I get it! Never know what to expect! Shewww! So what I've learned is this- when you're feeling good, do the things you want to do and enjoy the moment! The sun is not your friend. Water is essential. Food with riba. That's a big one! Love on your animals. Listen to music. And most important roll with it on the sofa with a blanky and at least one pet.
I love y'all. Thank you for the support!
Shadowdance, I love your squirells!

That's it Bago and buy lots of big girl panties like Kelly recommends (she's got a lot of 'em) and roll one up as you and Karmah said cuz that can help with sides. Did I get that right? Ya know what's weird, I've def had sides here and there (I'm in a really good phase right now) but never anything that I can discern the day or two following my shots. Never. Some muscle weakness and breathing issues on exertion have been my only ones lately. I hope yours taper off too as they seem to for some.

Oh yes, don't they both blow though?!! Lol. They blow more than the winds from the West.

I do agree that it sucks big time and never knowing is hard to get use to but somehow we do. Hang in there and get plenty of rest and water. Amazing how our little animals can give us such comfort. Take it one day or hour at a time! Hang in there! :)

The closer I get to starting tx the more terrified I am. See the doc. in Vegas on the 30th and away we go - but I might run the other way. I really don't want to do this. But I really have to.

It's waaaayyy scarier to read about and approach than to actually start. Oh, but in case you didn't catch it, IT BLOWS!!!

Tx sux......... plain n simple...but u got it right now Bago! Just DON'T over do it when u feel good...as it can take u down for a few days. One day at a time..... Some days, One Minute at a time!! I can't stress the importance on eating w/riba and drink drink drink enuf! It does HELP! Hugs and smooth sailing!!

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Bago, hang in there and keep your eye on the prize!! I just finished cleaning my boat....Took 2 days as opposed to 6 hours before TX. I have tried to set my sites on something and stick with it. This time it is the boat so as to take my daughters and granddaughters fishing the rest of the week(or as much as i can handle). I have tried to focus on a chore (hard enough as that is) and complete. many weekends its just sitting with all my girls and watching tv. sometimes its a little more lofty! I ask for strength and do what i can.
Guess what im saying is we are all here for you and we know how it is!!! keeping you in my prayers.

I found that whining and bitching were very therapeutic. And laughing.

Every day was a little different so I had to literally live my life one day at a time. Planning anything was out of the question.

Don't push yourself, stay on top of the side effects and keep killing those bastards. You are doing great.

hey lady... I hope by the time you're reading this you are feeling a bit better..well, make that much better.

You're only doing 12 weeks right? I don't mean 'only' to minimize it but there is an end in site and just remember- this trial has FANTASTIC preliminary results.
