Hep C Treament - Week 4
Well another milestone, the fourth Interferon injection completed, the first box of syringes empty and only 11 more boxes left to go 
Week 3 hit me hard, in essence I spent from the Tuesday to the Saturday in bed but I think I know why. My sleeping pattern is shot with the result that I’m not getting to sleep until around 6am, that happened on the Sunday and I was up at 8am for the usual Monday hospital appointment a little later. In an attempt to break the cycle I stayed awake all day and went to bed at 11pm, dog tired. Yes you guessed right….didn’t get to sleep until 6am again! Up at 7am and had to go in to work to cover for one of the guys who was away on business, thats fine as its one thing not being able to pull my weight but quite another stopping someone pulling their’s. Stayed at work until mid-afternoon, took to my bed and got up on the Saturday!
Forgot the wife’s Birthday on the Friday and blamed it on the treatment although to be honest I forget every year. I completely lost a day to the extent that if I had been on Who Want’s to be a Millionaire and the final question had been “what day is it today?” I’d have walked away with the £32,000.
Now this week so far has been different, still only got a couple of hours sleep Sunday and off to the hospital then got back and had a couple of hours nap. Monday night again didn’t get to sleep until the very early hours of Tuesday but arose after a good 13-14 hours this afternoon [Tuesday] feeling…well….pretty darn good.
The moral of this story is whilst on Hep C Treatment you need your rest.
Oh and BTW….still kicking viral ass….if I’m going down this nasty virus is coming with me.
Oh and BTW again….if you are eating a lot of vegetables and are eating in your bedroom then after a few days it really does start to…….stink
