My journey through life with HIV and HEP-C .

It's been a strange week.....

A good strange as far as our country goes. But as for me, Mon - Tues were good days. I felt semi-normal, Wednesday I couldn't stay awake, my poor landlord was cleaning the carpets that day. I just told her my room is fine, I am sick so don't bother. She is so awesome, of course she let me sleep and made me some tea. I got up around 7pm to tell my roommate please walk the dog, ate something and was back in bed. I woke up today feeling, fatigued, nauseous, my liver is sore,..blah blah blah .
I get so tired of complaining. I know I should be lucky I am breathing, feeling, and touching life, but believe me, whom ever has gone through this or is going through it knows it feels good to b@#$% sometimes.
Anyway bless this nation as we may now have a shot at being what we once were. But its not going to take just a new president , its going to take us all together to make a difference..

Brightest Blessings USA!!!!

you blah blah blah all you want!!! You are earning every single blah that you blah!

Sleep....ahhhh yes ...sleep.

It seems like it's the only thing that's been tried and true throughout tx to help me feel any better at all.

I used to sleep maybe 6 hours a night, now I'm sleeping more like 12 hours a night.

Hell I'm in bed by 7pm.

But the thing is, it seems like the best medicine for tx.

I complained about wanting to sleep all the time to someone else who was going through 72 wks of tx and they explained it to me like this-

"Your body has been working 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week even while your sleeping to fight a virus that's attacking your body....Now you're throwing all these drugs on top of all of that fighting.
The drugs are taxing your body 24 hours a day......
Hell I'm getting tired just thinking about all that work!!!"

When you think about it, she's right. All that energy used up.

The exciting thing is that once this is over...once my little dragon friend is totally evicted...I figure I'm going to feel totally awesome!

I mean hey, you feel like shit for so long that feeling "normal" has got to be soooo sweet!

So anyway...for now you b@#$% all you want to....but in between sleep all that you can.

Brightest Blessings back at cha!
