I've been working 12 hr rotating day/ night shifts. It's real tough but I think I also do better doing a little something. Everybody at work understands my situation. It's great having the time to take off if needed.

I too worked during my Tx.

It really did help take my mind off how crappy I felt. But I had to slow down and pace myself.

An additional benefit was that when I got home, I was so tired I could get to sleep, even with the itching and other nasty side effects.

I did discover that LOTS of sleep really helped in so many ways, especially my attitude.

Glad to see you're down to 3 weeks of Incivek left...that's a nice hurdle to clear.

Keep it up,

 

Brad

I worked the whole time. It was real hard some days, but in all I am glad I did it. Getting up to go to work was the only thing that kept me going. I took a week of vacation on the week before Christmas, and spent nearly the whole time in bed. Then after the holiday I got up and went to work. Crazy, but true. Good luck to you, and in my opinion you are doing the right thing. Just listen to your body. Always listen to your body. You'll know what to do. Alan
