A new day

Experiment

My usual way is on the good days.....do all I can. Today I'm feeling like a new person. Feeling great. I want to see what happens if I rest most of the day. I'll not overdue it like usual. Maybe I can make it through tx feeling good. As I looked back on my posts I noticed I am having good days and going about them as if I'm normal. Then the bad days are much worst. This will be an experiment on how I can have all good days on tx. Might not be possible but I'm going to try.

Shot #19

Strange. This is like the weather in Texas. Just wait and it will change. I had this migraine all day. Looks like it may have been sinus. I took a benadryl and about two hours later my headache is almost gone. I'm sure I'm scaring lots of people about tx lately. Don't be afraid. Everything happens for a reason. I really believe that. We learn from the difficult trials. We don't learn if we traveled a road paved and well maintained. We learn from the obstacles in our path. We have to try to reach our goals. Tx is a goal. My son reminded me about the man in a prison camp. He built a house in his head one brick at a time. So tx is like that. We can do this one brick at a time.

horrible head and neck pain

I've had a migraine headache for two days. I have ice on my neck and head right now. It really does help.But I can't leave my bed. I went outside to tell the lawn guys something. The sun almost blinded me. Am I getting all the side effects at the end? Seems that way. Too sick to pray for myself. My son came in last night and said a nice prayer for me. My sinus's is full of mucus, my mouth is quite dry. I did take some Vit C thinking I could have caught something. I heard once that this is when others get the chance to serve us. I think its come to that now. Accepting service from others....in a way letting them be blessed by helping me. I'm stubborn so this is a low point for me to ask for help.

Much better

This tx is like a roller coaster ride. This morning my stomach felt quesie. I didn't want to go to Church. Finally I got up and started getting ready. I put on eye liner and a little more makeup. I wore a new dress that I didn't have a undershirt for. I decided to were a pink one since my dress was brown and cream. I wore my brown ballet flats. I tried on high heals but my back hurts too much. I think after treatment it will be better. I drank some cranberry juice. I did feel better just to look nice and get out. I went to the Spanish speaking ward for sacrament. I missed ours at 8:30 this morning. Afterwards I went to our English Sunday School class. It was so good. The people in it are so wise. They have had lots of trials and are all amazing to me. The lady I sat by told me I looked beautiful. Wow that has made my week. So a little work pays off.
We did learn about humility. By our hearts being softened we can hear the word of God. When we have pride that is a stumbling block for our happiness and progression. It seems so simple. So I decided to go home and be grateful for all I have. This humble heart hasn't been humble enough. So I poured out my heart in behalf of my children. Afterward I had an impression to make a phone call. I found the number on line easily. I don't want to tell the details but it was everything I needed and an answer to my prayers. How grateful I am for prayer.

Week of Shot #18

I had a hard week. The drive to Sedona wiped me out. I had to get some things done this weeks so I couldn't stop and rest. Its been so hot. Its 110 degrees (45 c) now. So I'm sure dehydration has played a role in my bad week. Headaches, neck-aches, back aches. It was bad enough to put ice on my neck. I usually don't like icing but being so hot outside it the ice felt great. I think I had some heat stoke. Today I went out to do some errands and all I could do was get the car filled with gas. I found a good deal at 4.03 gallon. So filled up for 65 dollars. I then came home very ill. I didn't leave my bed but to use the bathroom. And that was quite a lot since i was having stomach problems. I'm quite sure it was heat stroke. I just staying in bed drinking apple juice and water. My stomach was so painful that I thought I may need to go to the hospital. But I knew I must have a blockage so rubbed my stomach where it hurt. Took some work. I've been taking codeine which can block you up.
Sorry to be so negative but this is an honest journal of my hep-c tx. Tomorrow is Sat. That is usually a bad day. The day after the shot ( which is on Tuesday night) and Sat. That is when the interferon has a second peak. I'm hoping to get out tomorrow and get things done. I'm going to be more careful and bring water each time I leave the house.
