…..just trying not to get overwhelmed by the side effects of this treatment!
 
I’m currently in week 10 of Interferon treatment and it’s ghastly. Some days are manageable and others are not. I had to swallow my pride and ask my darling aunt to move in with us for a little while. On the bad days I just have to sleep.
 
The most difficult side effects to manage while looking after Miss S are fatigue (just read exhaustion!!!), headaches, nausea and a bit of brain fade. The rest I can work through relatively easily. It’s so irritating especially as Miss S is currently teething (about 5 teeth at once!), trying to toilet train and waking early again.
 
I almost can’t bring myself to write that in actual fact I’m in week 10 of 52!!!!! It seems so long away so I’m trying to create small milestones. We expect that our new house will be ready in about 6 weeks, around Easter time.
 
My goal for this week was to update here…so I can tick that off as DONE! I’ll try to keep writing when I can.
 
Have a great day…I’m off to bed!

Kathy…It is a long road. I am praying for you. Wish I could do more. Like Robin said…one day at a time. You’ll get to the other side of this. Big hugs to you…. Janice
