Hello Hello Hello!!!

What a nice place to receive tx.  Went in 12 lead ekg, blood pressure, weight, and blood draw.  Took 7 pills got this tiny little I DIDN'T feel it needle in the belly and then went to sit in a nice recliner for the afternoon.  They took blood on 1,,2, and 4th hours after taking the meds.  This is a new FDA thing for trial drugs.  Have my meds and need to take riba again soon.  They tell me it is best to take them 5 hours apart. Still only the twice a day..

Injection at 11:30 pst and I can't say I feel anything that feels any different than what could happen during any day.  The other gal said she could feel it... 

So one down and 11 to go... and everything is blind... So I won't know about vl or anything till after the trial.  There had to be something to keep me wondering....

If you know anyone that needs help this doctor is looking for people in the San Francisco area that hcv.  They do the biopsies there too.  Me having mine done outside of there helped me get in faster.

With that I am going to rest,, and continue with this nice calm feeling that has been taking over my body for the past few days. 

Hugz and Love to You my Hepper Family

Good Morning,

Wow... what trippy dreams I had last night.  Got up a couple of times to head to the lou...Drank water through the nite. Water bottle almost empty this morning. I am finally getting up at 9:30.... But seems the groggy part is wearing off pretty quick and Grey feeling Okie Dokies overall...  Not that you were worried...  (hugz)

Just took my meds and have a little yoghurt and curious about how the day is going to go. 

I am just so happy to finally be killing this thing! 

Hope we all have a good day.... :happy:

rjs and pixie,

the day is ok... slightly different kind of tired....not really hungry...drinking my water as directed.   

Sad thing is that my cousin called and my Aunt has been in the hospital  :cry:  but they didn't want me upset or trying to leave town.  She is that bright, warm and happy person/place in my life. 

Now I am sad that I can't be there for her and the rest of the family.  So she is just going to have to get better (if they can figure out what is wrong!)

I know others here have had family members become ill during their tx and I can now relate to that. 

Hope the rest of the day is like this...... Tired is doable...
