11. 10 March 2013 - Second injection and starting blood test results.

The second interferon injection knocked me back a bit, more than the first one.

I did the injection on Friday evening, the same as the week before. Saturday morning I went back to bed until lunchtime. I was just leaden with tiredness.  Then in the afternoon we had a walk round the block for a bit of fresh air and stopped for coffee with and a chat A. By evening I was feeling a bit better.

The cleaning hasn't been done yet though.

My wisdom teeth are bothering me. They are quite sharp, and are rubbing the inside of my mouth, making an ulcer. They hadn't bothered me until I started the treatment. I wonder whether they are connected?

I've started taking the full 20mg dose of Citalopram, and have got a doctor's appointment next Friday to discuss them. I'm wondering whether a different variety might not make me want to eat so much.

We went swimming this morning, eventually. The AA had to come out restart the car - I'd left the interior light on all week and the battery was flat. That was another reason we didn't go to Tai Chi on Saturday morning. At the time it really upset me, especially because I couldn't lock the boot as the lock is electronic and I was worried that someone would steal the car. Then I realised they couldn't steal it as the battery was flat!  I am blaming the brain fog for my leaving the light on. I think I turned it on just as I got out of the car, thinking I was turning it off.

We were only in the pool for 25 mins before it closed for lunch, but still better than nothing. Can rest this afternoon now.

The nurse emailed through my starting blood test results. The virus load test results aren't ready, but all the rest were fine. Even my ALT level was within the normal range, if right at the top limit.

Hope all's well with you.
