Shot #4
This last shot was a bitch! It hit me almost as fast and I could get everything put away. Thought I was going to puke! Today was different for the second day after the shot. I have felt like I was in a daze all day. Weird. This shit is straight from hell.2 week check of blood work came back. Red & whites are in the normal rnage. Platelets are good as well. Told to carry on. Next appointment in a month. They wil check VL then. I just know this is working.Moods getting to be like a freakin roller coaster. UP DOWN UP DOWN. Just tired all the time now. Am now working 9 to 10 hour days. Very physical work. Getting tired very fast these days, but still pulling my wieght at work. I was told yesterday by on of our foremans that I am being looked at for a promotion and raise. Good to hear! it's about time something went right. Meds have been reordered. Ready for the next month. I WILL BEAT THIS DAMMIT~! The dragon is going down!!

Tough stuff you are going through! I am amazed by anyone who work will on these drugs. Do you have an understanding employer just in case you need some time off? Push on warrior!
Maybe working like an animal while on treatment will help get rid of some RIBA-RAGE. I started taking my pills in the middle of my meals and that helped a lot for the nausea. Stay strong my friend.
I\'ve had to learn to pace myself carefully TJ - & my work is not physically demanding at all. It is a roller coaster ride this treatment. You might need to consider an anti-depressant if the rage gets too out of control - keep going TJ
You are doing great TJ. Think about anti-depressants like Bill suggested. I know you can do this. You have a positive attitude. Go warrior.
I\'m on Wellbutrin. It helps and is starting to help me beat these cigarettes. Thanks for all your support.
Wouldn\'t that be a bonus............... That is how I quit also many years ago. That was the trigger that finally worked. You are tackling a lot, Huge, WTG warrior!
Good for you. Keep that positive attitude.
