Yesterday I spent most of the day running a fever that stayed pretty much steady between 99.8 and 101.6. I swore that if it hit above 102 I would go to the hospital and make them give me antibiotics. But it didn't so I stayed on my couch and slept most of the day away.
This morning the glands in my neck are still swollen but my throat isn't as sore. My mouth is irritated. My gums are slightly swollen and there's a sore in my nose. My body continues to ache.
I'm going to Hershey today. Hopefully I'll get a script for all of this.
I'll also get a copy of my blood work so that I can see whats going on. Dr. Smith will do her exam and I'm affraid that with this infection she may not allow me to take the shot....but I want to ....so I'll push her. I'm 4 weeks in and I just don't want to waiste it.
We'll see. Maybe I'm worrying about nothing.
I'll continue this post once I'm home later tonight....

Life and times of Dealing with a Dragon named Hep C
I found that Hep C has a nick name.
The Sleeping Dragon.
It's fitting.... Strange thing is that I've always loved Dragons.
I guess I never could have imagined that I'd have one of my own.
About Me
- Laurie
- I'm a 42 year old Mother of 5. 3 of my own and 2 of my Husbands. My 3 are 13, 17 and 21. His are 22 and 26. We have 3 boys and 2 girls. In my life I've had 17 surgeries, a tatoo and a blood transfussion. So your guess is as good as mine as to where I contracted Hep C. I do not believe it was from the tat. The gentleman that did the art was very careful with sterile tools. But who knows. I was diagnosed with Hep C on March 22, 2007. Geno type 1b with a viral load of almost 5 million. And now I turn the corner and yet a new path lay ahead of me...... A new Journey begins

Teekasmom here...good luck today. There is an oral formula that you need a script for. It is a combination of three common things. I've heard it called by different names. It is something like maylox, peptobismo, and something else. Its is a yellowish color. My doctors gave it to me for a condition called "Thrush" that happens in your mouth and esophagus. It commonly occurs when exposed to all the immune lowering drugs. It works great for the soars in your mouth.You kind of flush it around in your mouth like a mouth wash, and then swallow it, this helps to coat your digestive tract as well. Forgive me for the gross details. Hope this helps.
That's exactly what they've prescribed for me. The called it "Majic Mouth wash" , but it's a combination of stuff just like you said.
Thanks Gina :)
Love you
