I have finished my drug therapy.  I have no virus in the viral load test.  I will have a six month follow up, then 5 years.

I have my energy back however last week both legs got infected from me not being able to leave the psoriasis alone.  I am now on antibotics and recovering.

I want to thank everyone for prayers. 

Well I'm starting my 6th month of treatment.
Last month lab shows my white cell count up from 2.2  to 3.6 which I was estatic.
Psorasis now covers both legs and is starting to move to knees and upper arms, also more areas have started in my scalp.
My hair is thinning terribly so I need to start looking for a short hair style.

Next month we will determine if no viral load is found to stop drug therapy.

my third month of treatment was horrible.  extreme fatigue. I did get the small garden planted with help.  I've harvested a couple of zuc;s.  praise god the fourth month labs show no viral load, I am off the horrible colon infested meds and am healing there.  I still am battling fatigue, but the Dr. and staff are pleased in the progress.  Due to low white blood cell count I tried Kale, that stuff is nasty.  also I am dealing with more hair loss now.

Oh and friday before last I had to visit the local fire and rescue for my injection I still cant give them to myself.  ty hotties.

so after the melt down last night and this morning I hope I'm ready to face the days to come.  I will post my emotions:  
goal:

Crash and Burn

Last night I get a call all meds will be filled tomorrow (which is today).  I get a call this am asking if I'm ok from my angel girl,    not a worry slept like a baby.   And then the meds are in my possession and I start feeling the anxiety.  So by tonight I'm in tears explaining facts to a co-worker that is in the same position  work related.  Friday I will start receiving injections, and meds that will kill (what I think is all cells) however its not.  Explosive diarhhea,   now thats a laugh truely funny if it weren't one of the symptoms.

Busy Work

So to keep my mind off things, which maybe considered avoiding the obvious.  No, it just keeps me busy.
Finished my last project waiting to give it away.  Now to find my next project and do another load of laundry.

Reality sets in

Still haven't received meds yet.  But going over the side affects again.  I'm gonna need a strong support group.

Mundane Monday

It wasn't really, but.

I wanted to continue my pity party however, X called and I rolled on outta bed.

Good day in all.  Wondering if I'm still optimistic.

New Day

So after ripping out my knitting, I broke down.  Called a friend and he came to support me.  I think the hardest is I'm scared.  But on a bright note I'm over my knitting goal..    Yeah!!

Saturday

Well today I found myself wanting to sleep in.  A call from my X and I was outta bed.
I hear the birds outside and today I feel optimistic. My goal will be to decide which item I want to knit next and try and knit 12 rows.


Me myself and I accomplished 12+ rows and had to rip it out so I stand at 0 but tomorrow is another day

Cherish

I found that the plan is as severe as I thought.  Awaiting treatment
My goal for today is to finish a scarf I'm working on.

Hope

This will be a way for me to journal my treatment. Hopefully I will look back on post and/or comments and remember the tasks before me were very simple ones.
Dr. tomorrow to develop treatment plan.
