I’ve not had nearly the amount of time I would’ve liked to prepare for this treatment. Interferon and Ribavirin are on my desk and my stomach turns every time I look at them. From what I read about this stuff, I’m not going to be in the greatest of shape come tomorrow. Sleeplessness, lethargy, and headaches; my three least favorite ways to feel. I could double-up on the amount of leg pain that comes with a good Heroin kick in exchange for 8 hours of sleep a night. The headaches from Suboxone are enough to make me want to quit.
Lethargy. I postponed my treatment for two months and worked out for an hour a day, five days a week, every week, until now. My body is in the best shape it’s been for several years and I usually wake up feeling pretty ok. Not today – I’m all kinds of worried. I keep telling myself, what’s another day?
Off to one last workout before the fun begins…
