I spent yesterday on the couch. Sundays are ruff. Fatigue and nausea stayed with me all day.
I got up this morning and today is not much better. The little drummer boy is playing hell on my upper back and neck. I grabbed some tylenol and I'll take a hot shower and maybe he'll go away for the day. The fatigue is still holding on.
Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to work I go.....I hope the day gets better...

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

Good Morning Laurie, I understand what you are feeling this am, on Monday I no longer even try to go to work. My boss came up with the idea of me just working Tuesday through Friday (when I can) cause Monday's are so hard. I also wanted to tell you what has worked for me. While I can barely gag down another pill, the bone pain, muscle pain that was with me every morning was wearing me out. My doc put me on Neurontin, it is supposed to help Fybromyalgia and it helped me alot. Not saying it will help you but I thought I would mention it. Another one is called Lyrica but since the low dose Neurontin (100mg) worked I didn't need to try the Lyrica. I also take a .50 Xanax with it. I no longer wake up feeling so very bad every morning. I am thinking about you
Love

Mondays are the hardest work day for me. Tuesday's get a little bit better and by Wednesday I'm doing ok. But then Wednesday night I take the Nuepogen and Procrit shots and that trashes Thursday. By Friday I feel better again and then I start it all over with the Inerferon.
As it stands the only Mondays that I have off are the Mondays that I go to Hershey for. If I take less hours I'd be considered part time and I'd loose my medical Ins. I just couldn't afford the $3500.00 a month for Procrit and Nuepogen so I have to stay working Monday through Friday. I just muddle through it....
So far the Tylenol seems to help with the aches well enoughfor now. If that begins to fail I will talk to her about the Neurontin.
I may ask Doc to give me Xanax instead of Lexapro as the Lexapro is twisting my stomach into knots and making me feel almost as bad as the other A.D. did. (chemo brain..can't remember the name of it lol)
Thanks for the idea's. I think it's always good to know what other trial buddies are taking...it gives me more options for dealing with this mess.
I hope your day is good!
Love
Laurie
Good for you, you still working even though the drummer boy is playing on your body.
