Welcome To My "HEP C" Life

Hepatitis C is a blood disease that affects the liver. There is a tx that I am now on which is a mixture of "interferon" injections 1x a week and 1200mg in pill form of "Ribavirin" dailly. This is an extreme and rigorous 48 week treatment and I have started september 22nd 2006

Listen to your dreams...



I'm galloping softly
Riding through the willows
My mind starts its melting
Now I'm feeling mellow
I never knew the clock stopped
The beating fell away
As I listen to this treatment
Hold me in a daze...

I am feeling tired and a wee bit exhausted. I found its best to not do anything of real great proportions, I found that I can work best around this memory fog, If I do non-mind needed projects. I zoned out in some of my art, I meditate that way, and watching T.V. is always a no brainer. within every problem there is a solution. And I think while I'm in Brain fog, this solution works best.

"If I Only Had A BRAIN!!"


Thoughts scatter softly through my brain. I go into one room and start to do something then begin to start something completely different. Then I do the same thing again, immediately. I can't even remember to write anything down, when I start to I forget, then move onto another project. We all know I am the poster child for A.D.D., but this is on top of that, I personally can tell the difference. These of course are side effects, and so shall be noted as so, because as soon as I write this down, I shall forget to remember anything I just wrote...


P.S. Did I mention that I was forgetting things.....

P.S.S. Did I mention that I can't remember anything.....

Forgetfulness...



My nurse says not to be concerned and worried that I may be flushing out my interferon. just keep drinking lots of fluids. Yesterday I ran out of the house without taking my ribavirin. I only thought about it this morning, and looked in my pill box and yesterdays pills were still there. That is not good. I put out an all points bulletin to my parents to help me remember. This is too extreme and rigorous of a treatment to be missing a pill or two. Concerned me at first, but nothing I can do about yesterday, All I can do is make right choices that will help me in the future for this not to happen again.
