First entry
This is my first journal entry. I am being treated for type 1A. I started last February and am scheduled to go until January. I have been able to work the whole time (I sit at a computer all day) and recently have started getting tired and out of breath easily. Anemia. Hopefully the Dr. can do something. Thankfully my virus is undetectable and I hope the treatment will not be too much for me and I can finish. I have great friends who are praying for me and I think that helps me a lot. Other side effects are wired smells, craving protein, hating chicken sometimes, dry mouth, very weak, eyesight a little blurry, depression, sleepy all the time, can't work a full week. Taking pegasys and ribavarin. I am thankful that I have insurance and can be treated, that I can still work, that people at work are not all freaked out, that I have good support at work and my wife is holding up well, and that no one in my family got it from me. I don't know how I picked it up.
