UND!!!

hi everyone.  i just got my 8 week labs today and i'm UND!!!  i'm so happy.  i've had pretty mild sx.  my HGB got low so they lowered my riba.  i've got more energy now.  i still get tired but i'm not breathless anymore.  my bummer is the rash on my back and sometimes my arms.  my dr. prescribed some cream that really helps.  and i've had a few puffs of herb to help me with my lack of appetite.  (dr. said it's fine for me).  i won't know until 24 weeks if i get to quit or have to go another 24.  i'm praying for only 24.  i'm still doing cardio 3x/weekly and working.  some days are harder than others.  i get a little cranky but all i want is my life back.  i think i see a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel.  i want to slay this dragon and say goodbye to these shots and meds!!!  i hope everyone is doing good as i think of you all as an extended family of sorts.  good luck and best wishes to all my buds.  belle

yes, it went up because they lowered my riba dose.  down to 600mg.  but as of today i'm up to 800.  started at 1000.  i just don't want to be breathless.  it's kind of scary.  belle
