So Friday turned to shit. Halfway through the day I became very nauseous and fatigued. It was very hard considering the day started off so well.
After work I got in my car to go home and all I could do was sit there and cry. I knew I had to go home to the Friday night Peg. shot and I was just not ready to do that. Fridays are getting so hard anymore.
I got home, cried a little more and took the shot. What else could I do?
Saturday and Sunday where spent on the couch. Fatigue kept hitting and putting me down.
These weekends are soooo waisted.
It's Monday morning and after a whole lot of sleep and lounging around on the couch I think I'm feeling somewhat better. At least I feel ok sitting up and sitting still. The moving around will have to be slow today, but maybe it won't be too bad.
The hair continues to fall out, the skin on my neck, upper back and scalp are so dry that it's starting to peal a little........everything itches all the time and nothing seems to help!
I know, I know.....bitch bitch whine whine! lol....but sometimes I just can't help it.
Ok, so a positive? Sure.....the news keeps talking about it being the End of Summer. I can't wait for the leaves to change! :)
Have a Great Monday everyone!

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

Dear Laurie, I hope you get a good nights sleep and feel better tomorrow, that is what I try to tell myself every night. Have you had your ears clog like you are under water? It is a new sx for me and I looked it up and found that some people have hearing problems the last part of tx. You are so knowledgable I was hoping you might know
Glad to hear from you, praying to Teah and her family
Love
Dorene
Sharon,
There are an aweful lot of ups and downs with this stuff isn't there!
Monday is getting much better. I think maybe (fingers crossed) this might turn into a regular tx week instead of the week from hell that I've been finding over the past couple of weeks.
I hope anyway....
Thank you for your good wishes.
Hope your week is being nice to you!
((Hugs))
Laurie
Dorene,
My ears have had a high pitck sqweal in them ever since about week 6. I've learned to ignore it for the most part. I know it's from the drugs...
I never had the feeling that you describe, but I did find an article on it that is pretty possitive that it goes away once tx is finished.
Here's the link:

you also might try going on the HepCNomads forum. They always have such a wealth of tips, tricks and knowledge. Their link is on my blogs front page on the right under Hero's.
I noticed in the article that one of their case studies was on a guy who started having trouble at around week 22. That's just about where your at.
Thankfully it should go away but I know it must drive you nuts!
Hang in there!
((Hugs))
Love
Laurie
I'm so sorry Friday went down hill.
Good Morning Laurie, thank you for the info on the ears, it started last week, off and on, hearing my heart beating is the worst or at least I guess that is what the thumping noise is in my ears
Thank you so much, you have so much information and I really appreciate it
Hope today is better for you
Love
Dorene
Iris,
Thank you my friend! Monday and Tuesday are trying hard to make up for it though.... :)
It's weird, it's almost as though when I feel like shit I have to hit total bottom before tx allows me to start feeling any better.
Did this happen to you too?
This week is going much better. My fingers are crossed that it stays this way!
((Hugs))
Love
Laurie
Dorene,
You're very welcome!
Did you go to the HepCForum at all? There are so many helpful people there with a wide range of experiences.
With Teah in Tbilisi, her and her daughter are probably in the safest part of Georgia right now. She's coming home in about a week. I'm hoping that everything stays somewhat calm for her return.
Take care Dorene!
((Hugs))
Love
Laurie
