Frustration

I've been playing Ultimate Spiderman on the Gamecube recently. I like the story and presentation of the game, but I've been really frustrated with it. It seems like half the game is about racing and chasing things. The control isn't the greatest so it makes the game really hard when there's a race. I don't know if it's the controller or the game programming. Arrrgh... I'm about to throw this game away. I think I may give up on it soon and just sell it while people still want it.

Oh well, enough of that. My shots have been going okay recently. I had a couple of bad days the last couple of weeks, but things are generally good.

Day 107: Ooops... I forgot to write on day 100

When I first started writing in this journal, I made it a point to make day 100 special. Hehe... I forgot! Well, let's see if I can remember what happened that day. I think day 100 was a Monday... and since it was a day after I shot, it wasn't too exciting. I think the highlight of my day was taking a 3 hour nap.

I went to the doctor again last week and he recommended that I stay on the medication for another two months. Progress is pretty good so far. Before I started the medication, my virus count was about 970,000 units. Now, 4 months later, my virus count is 7,600. It's a logarithmic drop and should continue to decline. Hopefully, I can get to 0 counts of virus in the next two months.

Oh yeah... here's a link to one of the first journals I read when I found out I was going to take interferon. (Bob's Journal) He seems to have had it worse than I am now. I think he was doing 3 shots a day, versus my 3 shots a week. The journal is taken from an Interferon information page. Click on "Personal Experiences" for more stories, but Bob's journal gave me the most insight as to what to expect. (And also scared me a little.)
