More Low Key

[BoceprevirGal]

I just wanted to apologize, for my husband making an account on here, unbeknownst to me, thinking that he was defending me, and behaving in a combatiative tone. He never checked with me, we have seperate computers (and rooms, sometimes,haha)..but of course I could tell it was him when I read the posts...so embarrassing.
     Anyhoo, I agree with NYgirl (and Willb), I thik I will say less, and listen more~ sorry to be so socially awkward. I'm here to exchange imfo, not flame, and will actually proof read what I tap out, to make sure it doesn't sound offensive : )
    That being said, it's two days after my Interferon shot, I am achey, I still have the worst case of "dysguesia" from the Boceprivir, and have to wait until next tuesday, for the Procrit...who knows, could be longer. I hope everybodyis doing well~

Hi Boceprivir28wkGal,
I'm not understanding.  Are you saying that your husband created this profile and log on, Beceprivir28wkGal, and pretended to be you? Or are you saying that he created a separate profile and log on, and then defended you in a thread?

I am sure everyone can understand, you are under tx and we have all been there. Back in the beginning of December I was a mess, much better now. Take care of yourself, you will do fine.  Glad you are here on the forum

OP is talking about "breing more low key"...........way off topic.  So let's get back to it

[BoceprevirGal]

Ah, I'm glad  you feel better, 11.2 is great! I have heard once we get to the 8's, that it's really bad, so I am thinking I am still in the 9's..will get my blood tested on tuesday, and have my Procrit shot lined up. I have noticed my Doc (she's an Internal Medicine Specialist) has us all on 1200 mgs of the riba, to start of with. Then she prescribes the Procrit, and if that doesn't work, she reduces, and if that doesn't work..blood transfusion time. It's good you didn't have to have a transfusion, what sx's did you get, from the Procrit shot, if any? (I'm gonna look at Sentinels charts, to see what week you got yr first shot)

I have no idea what this is about...I'm fairly new and not on a lot lately since starting tx....the side effects of "no energy" and/or "loss of interest" in my usual activities?!? IDK.
But good for you to make this disclosure and I'm sure everyone on here gets that it's possible for all of us to not be ourselves at one time or another.
Your hubby  was trying to defend you? Ah, right or wrong, that's sweet, lol. Gotta love em.
At least if I run across the posts involved, I'll know what it's about.
Take care, be well and hang in there.

then they are NOT your friends.........get rid of them

[BoceprevirGal]

Hah, thanks. Well, me being clean and sober,  and getting treatment, feel threatening to him, I'm sure. I have a few friends who still use, and have Hep C, and they dont like hearing about my treatment, they are in denial, etc...which is why I prefer discussing treatment with others in my same situation.

[jules2551]

Come back Ex's can be an ***.  Been there done that hated it. So brush yourself off and get back up

My hbg went to 8.3 I felt like sh..  they reduced ribo and started procrit I am up to 11.2 now I feel like a new woman.  

[BoceprevirGal]

Thanks, crigger. It's hard for me to tell how much is breathlessness, how much is mild asthma (which I get, if I'm around my kids when they are sick, which they are)and how much is high anxiety, from knowing I am below range, and that the Procrit still isn't lined up. But when I get dizzy, from standing up too fast, and cant breath from going up the stairs, I know that is a symptom of the anemia, as I was always working out, before treatment. But all in all, I feel pretty good, the feeling of being poisoned tends to go away, within 10-20 minutes, especially if I distract myself with a project, and remind myslef of the people in my irl support group, who have had lower HGB, and gotten thru it.

Keep coming back. Hope you start feeling better when you get the procrit.
