over here, i had a small setback.\u00c2\u00a0 my liver function test was too high. Last week it was 160, this week it was 317, “normal” is 10-40, but on Interferon it is kosher to go up to 200.\u00c2\u00a0 so they gave me the IV for the fluid, but are holding me for a week for the Interferon.\u00c2\u00a0 i have to wait a week then if my liver function is back in the acceptable range i will continue.\u00c2\u00a0 i have been told this is is quite common.\u00c2\u00a0 so i’m not worried.\u00c2\u00a0 i was hoping that i would be done sooner than later, but that is hopefully all this means.<\/p>\n
stopping in the middle or modifying in some way is more normal than not.\u00c2\u00a0 my understanding is that it does not compromise effectiveness.\u00c2\u00a0 and when i made my ticket, they made me budget in an extra week “in case.”<\/p>\n
So now the weird thing is that I am maybe going to feel okay this week.\u00c2\u00a0 I say maybe, b\/c who knows, as my weekends were worse than my weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 That said, I do feel better this evening than I have for a while.<\/p>\n
Sadly, it will probably make going back next Monday even harder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
