Yesterday was fun, the wife feels much better now. A few days now since her first shots and she is feeling much better. Pretty much back to normal.
Yesterday was day two on the Riboviren and she decided to disregard the Nurses advice about taking the second dose by 5 pm because she wanted to take it with dinner and we were running a bit late, she didn't wind up taking it until about 7pm.
The nurse told her that it would effect her sleep and she figured since it didn't the first nught, it wouldn't the second. Sound logic there! I reminded her this is a drug that has to build up in her before she knows what the impact will be.
Anyway, wierd night as she took a long time falling asleep, she spent about 3 hrs talking in a state somewhere close to sleep, Every time she yelled (happened a few times), she managed to scare me to death!!
Anyone else experence side effects like that?

Less is more, just knowing your there helps. She will talk to try an rationalize what is happening, just listen like you are and the emotional symptoms she is having from my experience are sometimes things that have already bothered her in the past but her logic could easily deal with and she would simply dismiss the feeling as irrational thinking and move on. But now that this has been amplified by the meds especially the ribavirin to a level that she is going to have to adjust to or may never be able as myself. This is why I never interact with people to avoid triggers. This works for me because I am comfortable being alone, but I do not recommend this for anyone else.
