Injection 12 and 13
*******************
Just been reading some blogs and I realize Ive got a long way to go yet,
although I was'nt expecting it to be over in a couple of weeks anyway,allways new I'de got the long haul.
So,went to the Isle of wight rock festival a couple of weeks ago,"fantastic",Richard Ashcroft,the Prodigy and the Primal Scream did it for me ,not to mention of course "Mr Lou Reed".
Anyway,I did'nt want to be on a bummer that week end , so instead of no12 on the friday,Isaved it untill we got back on the monday.
The injections were getting quite good?,but that one sent me straight back to bad flu symptoms and put me on my back for a day or two,which is when the tears came,"dam these emotions",does your head in
My nurse said stagger no13 , do it on the saturday and then the following week you can return to friday(Iprefer to be "poorly"at weekends,and try for some sembalance of normality during the working week)
Woke up sunday morn and thought "great,no symptoms",till I got up.
Felt like an Iron band had been clamped around my chest,and this dry rasping cough which I'de been nurturing for the last 3 months felt as if it was about to shoot my lungs straight out of my mouth,and today I've been up and down,feeling as sick as a pig and a bit grumpy too,but never mind eh !,such things are sent to try us!
Ihave decided that my favorite song is the Pythons "always look on the bright side of life"
See ya !!

Hi Steve - just a quick welcome to the Hep C blogging community from another Nottingham resident!

I am guessing you get treatment through QMC, so we probably share nurses etc.

I've only got 4 more injections of my 48 to go, so almost there!

If you want to get in touch at all, please feel free to e-mail.

Good luck with treatment.

Nick
