I woke up late this morning. It's hard to get out of bed.
Yesterday turned to shit. I spent most of the day nauseous and spent a few times running for the bathroom. I hate that at work because I never know if people can hear me! lol
Today Nurse Sandy should be back in the office. I'll call her to get a different script for A.D.'s
Today is going to be better....damn it! I wake up every morning with the outlook that the day will get better. It doesn't usually work....but I keep waking up and trying. I know it could be worst. It's been worst.
So much work at trying to be positive. It's getting hard when there are so many days of feeling this way.
I paste the stupid smile on my face and try to pretend that everything is just ducky, even though Ducky has deserted me lately.
I hate living in a world of Nausea and Fatigue. I'm still hoping that my body will adjust to all of these drugs a little bit better. It's just very hard.
Other than still feeling a bit washed out and wanting to sleep a couple more hours, waking up this morning I don't feel too terrible. It's funny how I wind up taking inventory of what is bothering me when I wake up. I should just throw that out the window because everything changes from one hour to the other.
Take yesterday for instance, I woke up feeling almost like I do right now. As the morning went on I became more and more nauseous and fatigued. Back and forth to the bathroom. By the time I got home I wound up in the bathroom one more time and then began feeling better. By 7pm I started feeling very good.
It's just too unpredictable.
Yet I still wake up this morning and cling to the positive.
Today will be a good day.
Today I will feel good all day.
My fingers are crossed.

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

The tx beats you down as time goes by. As you know, it ain't no fun. Only those who have experienced it can appreciate what you're going through. I guess that puts us in an elite group, we fought the dragon and we've won. I've been 6 days off and I'm at about 80%. My memory has come back and I'm able to do things again. Your Ducky flew to Sacto and lives with me. Looking forward to my trip, see you soon T
Try to be nicer to yourself. When your body wants to rest, let it rest without guilt. If you need to throw-up, don't worry about people hearing it. If you could just get this nausea under control, I think things would go a lot easier. I'm going to let Terry judge whether you're eating enough, by how thin you are. Coffee is NOT a complete well balanced breakfast! Take care.
Terry,
This "Elite Group" really teaches you how to appreciate what feeling good is all about!
80% after 6 days! Wow that's awesome and inspiring! You must feel like a new man! :)
It's going to be a blast to see you!
((Hugs))
Iris,
I try to be nice to myself....but myself can't seem to be nice to me! lol
I think your right about the nausea. If I could just get rid of it I know I'd feel brand new!
Too thin...I know I'm too thin. The weight will come back once I get rid of the nausea.....
Love you too.
((Hugs))
Laurie
