Hep C Roundup - Week 16
Once again another good week, a bit of a struggle at the beginning of the week which was either the “hangover” from the Xmas/New Year break or a little downer following the PCR test results. My vote would go for xmas/new year, always found it a bit of a low time, relatively speaking.
Nothing much to report on the sides, hands have started to crack and flake a little which doesn’t look too bad but doesn’t half smart a bit. They are getting the full force E45 treatment. I may be getting a little joint pain but I am old and it is cold, again nothing major. Been a big improvement in the face area due I would say to a big bunch of clinique stuff a good friend got me for xmas, even cured the crusty eyebrow problem that the Daughter delights in talking about. For me at least the E45 didn’t cut the mustard on my face.
Apart from that just glad to have xmas out the way, we have the day itself, our wedding anniversary, my birthday and new year all in the space of a week. I of course forgot the anniversary [blamed the TX but I always forget] but shockingly the wife forgot my birthday. She pointed out that I had forgot her’s but as I reminded her it wasn’t her last one. 
So thats another week out the way, managed to settle into somewhat of a routine of late and hope to continue that as long as possible.
Oh and BTW stopped smoking, again!

“I’ve lived too long. I’m in the ruck. I’ve drunk too deeply of the cup. I cannot spend, I cannot fuck, I’m down and out. I’m buggered up.”
apart from that I am all right
Fight them in the air, the fields, the peaches etc

Hep C Boy - Sounds like a good week 16 ! Week 4 for me so far started with lots of sleep. I took my shot Sat night and slept Sat night until Monday morning except for an hour or two here and there to watch the NFL Football playoffs. I had the usual aches and pains and chills along the way. I seem to be cold allot of the time. I have a new side effect this week as my nose is peeling, flaking, etc. I will have to begin some treatment so it won’t get worse. To date I had not had any dry skin issues but now seem to have it all over. I am able to eat almost normally except some things still taste different. I have to work all week this week for the first time since being on the treatment so it will be interesting to see how tired I am on Friday. I seem to be more tired than normal and it is only Tuesday. The fatigue side effect may yet be the worst.
