Day 200: My last shot!

At least I think I'm on day 200. Anyway, last night I took my last shot. It was pretty uneventful, because I've gotten used to my ritual. It still doesn't seem like I've been doing this for 6 months! I think it'll sink in a couple of days from now when I realize that I don't have to give myself another shot.

Overall this wasn't a fun last 6 months. I was tired most of the time and took long naps almost every day. Plus, I wasn't really motivated to do anything so I just ended up vegging out most of the time. My worst day was probably the day of my first shot. The medicine shocked my body and I went through almost all the side effects in the book - flu symptoms, the shakes, dizziness, lack of energy, soreness in muscles, headaches.... I truly thought that I wouldn't make it through.

I'm visiting my doctor next week to get some final results. Hopefully things turn out well and the virus is totally gone. If not, I'm sure the doctor will go over some more treatment options.

Thanks to all my friends and family for supporting me during this time. I hope I didn't act to crazy!

My last week

I only have one more week left on my shots! Today was my last shot on my left leg (hopefully). I've been rotating injection sites between my left thigh, right thigh, and stomach. I can't wait until this is over. I've been on Interferon for about 6 months now!

Ouch

For those of you who care about HSX... I had my biggest loss the other day. King Kong sucks.

Less than 5 weeks to go

I went to my doctor last week and finally got an answer as to how much longer I would have to take my medicine. Yep, I only have less than 5 weeks left on the treatment!

I got a flu shot last week too and that knocked me about for a day or two. I don't know if that was normal, but a least I feel better now.

Black Friday goodies

Yes, I know Black Friday was last week, but I guess I'll post some of the goodies I got. I wasn't planning on going shopping at first, but I changed my mind the night before.

First on the list was a 19'' LCD monitor at Best Buy. I woke up at 3:45 am so that I could get in line at Best Buy. There were already about 100-200 people in line when I got there at 4:15 am.
The store opened at around 5 am and there was a mad rush inside the store. I managed to snag the monitor I wanted as well as a couple of DVDs. I think most people were there for the cheap laptops.

Next on the agenda was Staples. I got there at about 5:40am and waited in a short line until 6am. The line was nothing compared to what was taking place over at Best Buy. I was just getting small stuff there like cheap photo paper and a free shredder.

Last stop on my list was CompUSA. I got there around 6:30 am and I didn't really want anything, but I picked up a wireless adaptor for $3AR anyway.

My morning ended about 7:30 when I finally got home. My parents had also bought some stuff for me since I couldn't go to all the stores. They went to some hardware stores and picked up some drills and stuff like that. So was it worth it? The deals weren't that great, but for some reason I enjoy "the hunt" and the "mad rush" atmosphere of shopping on Black Friday.

Owww... headache

I woke up with a bad headache today. It's still bothering me even those it's already midday. Oh well, the effects of the medicine... or maybe too much turkey.
