Injection 21
Done injection 21 on Friday 21st and have to say i have felt terrible since, i dont know if it was the injection or the Ribavirin or the chicken kievs and mussells i had but i was ok for an hour or so after having my tea then i took my Ribavirin and left that an hour or so then did my injection and went to bed.
Around 11:30pm i woke up and had to jump up and run to the bathroom and made it just in time for the deluge to begin.....i was up quite a few times through the night and got very little sleep or rest. Not wanting to risk getting caught out i took my Riba with just water to see if that would settle my stomach, it seemed to help.....however all Saturday i felt a major headache and sick and an un-natural hate of any noise or light....went to bed around 9:30pm i think and had the usual 3.5 hours sleep and waking up still feeling drained and sick but managed to doze off again.
Sunday i never ventured out of bed all day as i was still feeling very very rough but now with sweats and white spot in my eyes - kind of like when you look at a light bulb then look away- sometimes you still see the white spot.....but this was constant through the day and night.
Monday i got up and took my Riba with water as i was still feeling ill and had gone around 40+ hours without eating.....just drinking water so had a roll at work and i managed to keep it down.....and in.
I still however felt sick all Monday and was more tired than usual and continue to feel more and more tired the further into treatment i go....Almost halfway there....

Injection 20
This injection went without any problems, i am however still feeling extremely tired within half an hour of getting out of bed.....regardless of whether i have slept or not.
Went to HepC clinic today to pick up my next 4 weeks meds and to give blood, was unable to get enough blood for testing, this is one my specialist wanted to do as she wants to check my thyroid to see if that is causing the constant tiredness.....oh well try again next month.
Going to do Injection 21 now.

Injection 19
This injection went without any problems, however the fatigue is getting worse as well as the inability to sleep properly - getting about 3 hours a night if i am lucky and just dozing the rest of the time....this week i have taken a half day off a couple of times due to suddenly feeling a wave of exhaustion and feeling my body is going to shut down.

Injection 18
I did my 18th injection at midnight on the last day of 2010 so that 2011 started as i mean to go on....killing this blasted virus.
The last 2.5 to 3 weeks have been exceptionally difficult due to lack of sleep and unbelievable tiredness but i am trying to resolve this by testing the effect of my Anti-depressants and when i take them.
Usually i take my 2 x 200mg Ribavirin and 2 x 20mg Citalopram in the morning around 8am then 3 x 200mg Ribavirin and 2 x 400i.u. of VitD at 8pm at night.
From Monday 3rd January i have moved the Citalopram to nighttime and the VitD to morning plus 1 x 400i.u. with my nighttime meds giving 3 x 400i.u. dailly to try and lower the tiredness and raise the sleep levels obtained, currently i am lucky if i can sleep for 4 hours at a time...2.5 being the normal, then i wake up again and stuggle to fall asleep and mostly dose off for a half hour or so.
