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.
