Had another uneventful weekly Interferon injection Thursday night - I couldn't remember which side of my stomach I'd used last time... I prefer injecting in my stomach than my thigh.
Had to have the plumber round on Thursday due to a leaking radiator. The good news was that the plumber came, but I found it stressful. I do find that anything out of the routine is getting more difficult to cope with.
I have to go and have a lie down for half an hour or so much more often. I also find it difficult mentally to cope with forward planning.
Otherwise the cough still there - usually when I think about it or when I move into a colder room, or if there is some sort of atmospheric change. But it is more under control, especially at work.
The irritation is still there, but I move away from situations much more.
I also have a craving for sweet things sometimes, so I always have hard boiled sweets in the car. My weight has stabilised to about 12 stone with clothes, but I am eating things I'd previously stopped eating - like milk, or sugar, or cakes. That's sort of an upside to the treatment - I can eat what I want with no worry about putting on weight! I am going to have to be very careful when I come off the treatment not to put on weight.
I also am thirsty much more - the best drink seems to be hot water.

Hi Jon,
I am so glad to read your blog. It is very encouraging and gives me alot of hope. I am on day 30, have had 5 shots & will get viral load results next week. I am 67, geo 1b and live in USA. I had my first "Riba Rage" experience 4 days ago and have decided during these times I must not leave home, warn my neighbors I am on a roll and most of all I must stay away from making phone calls. I have a strong background in art, so after a long drought, I am painting my experience w/treatment. Also, I can rant at bush & cheney, etal who are forever exposing themselves on the tube.
Sorry about the duplicate. The message said it couldn't be posted so I tried again and got 2. Dont know how this all works yet.
Thank you Jenn,
It is good to hear from you. When I feel a rage coming on I go and have a lie-down for half an hour - that seems to work. Although more difficult when you're away from home. otherwise I wait up to an hour before sending important emails - it's always important to have a second look when you're in a quieter state.
With Best Regards
Jon
