Try the interferon in the morning maybe.  I did it on Sunday and I think I slept through the worst of it Sunday night.  I felt pretty good on Monday.

Hey Renee & Lindsay--glad you both still have that fighting spirit! So sorry to hear you are having such a rough spell--hopefully you will feel better soon. I agree that your doctor will most likely let you go back to you regular shot day. I had to do Procrit and if Neupogen is anything like it--it does really ________(fill in the blank). take care

Hi Alan :) I'm glad that Renee was okay minus feeling so awful earlier this week. The doctor thought it could have been appendicitis or obstruction somewhere. Glad that wasn't the case!!! Renee, I'm here for you and am glad you can reach out for support here. Much love!

Good to hear from you. I bet the doctor will let you go back to a Saturday schedule whenever you want to. Sure wish you didn't have to use Neupogen. I hear that's a stinger. But now that you are all hydrated and hopefully no longer nauseous I bet you feel much better. I hope you can finish before Thanksgiving and enjoy the holiday. Tell Linds I said Hi! . Alan

hmm Hi all. Update;
I am not sure if it is tx meds or new med for the shingles; but I have been getting sick alot; got sick to the point that I couldn't keep food and water down, and got terribly sick the other night; called my Liver doc and they told me to skip my evening Riba and my Sat shot and take it instead on sun.
Now I am wondering if I will have to take my interferon now on Sundays? or can I go back to sat?
Went to the ER and got pumped full of fluids; doesn't help I think that I am now taking Nuepogen every week now. (I HATE THAT STUFF)....Feel like crap arms are all bruised as are my hands because it took forever for the nurses to get an IV.....taking it one day at a time....blah. I am alive and I will live but sooooo looking forward to the finish line....which should be about around thanksgiving.....gobble gobble...
