Hepatitis C Treatment Can Be Amusing

I know that treatment can be very trying for some.   But there is humor in all this.   Everyone needs to laugh at themselves from time to time.    

During treatment I had my pills all lined up.   I think it was like 10 or 12 a day.   My dog also was taking medication.
So I got up one morning and took my medication.  Just as I swallowed.... I realized I had taken the dogs pills by mistake.   Ran to the phone and call the vet.   Frantically told them I had taken the dogs pills by mistake.  Waited for an answer but they couldn't stop laughing long enough.   Finally told me I would survive.   Then said maybe a chew bone would calm me down.   At the time I did NOT find that amusing.  : )

YOU GUYS are 222222222   funny!!    Remember, I destroyed my computer monitor during my Riba rage??   OMG!   The monitor was flickering on and off and would not stop. In my Riba state, I got P.O.'d..   So, I decided that I need to disconnect the power cord and the cable from the bottom of the monitor.  In the process of doing so, I couldn't get it to come out of the bottom of the monitor. No matter how hard I tried.  I yanked at the darn thing and it still wouldn't come out.  A power cord should have just plugged in and been able to unplug. Well it wouldn't work. And I got so mad at it, that when I pulled too hard, it left a bunch of loose wires hanging and it was toast.  I ended up having to go to Walmart and buying an affordable/workable NEW monitor.  But, it was basically because at the end of my treatment, my brain and the Riba weren't exactly boding well for my mindset.   There were several times on past treatments that I got lost while driving..., sort of a scary thing at the time, but now I can laugh about it.

That is so funny, :)  Great idea!  
  After letting my clothes sit in the hamper, I finally decided to wash a load.  Put the soap in, stared it, after it finished I opened it to find it was empty.  I forgot to put the clothes in.

I had a very dry mouth during tx. I had a spray bottle of biotene to moisturize and a bottle of benedryl for the intense itching.  I sprayed the benedryl in my mouth...twice! UGH

The worst was the day I brushed my teeth with Bengay. UGH

I hope others will share their experience, it wasn't funny at the time but it is now :)

Very funny. I have two good size dogs. One of those dogs is always waiting for something to drop to the floor so he can devour it. About my third day on Riba and Sovaldi, in the AM, before work and coffee: I open up my meds, pour them in my hand and open the refrigerator to grab some coconut water to take with the meds, when I dropped my $1,000 sovaldi pill. Actually, it bounced on the floor and ricocheted off the hall wall...  I was frantic and screamed at my dogs to stay away as they scurried to find the flying pill...  They stared in pure confusion and fear...as i quickly got on my hands and knees looking for the pill...  It ricocheted from the wall into my hall laundry closet... My dogs were wary of me every time I was near the refrigerator for a couple of days after that incident... It is only funny now because everything turned out okay...(grin)
