I went to the lab today, expecting things to be the same...I was actually expecting my hematocrit to be up (no solid reason, just superstitious I guess!). Well....(drum roll), the results are:
Hematocrit: 39.6, down from 40.3
WBC: 7.1, down from 7.4
Platelets: 780, down from 995
WOO HOO! My platelets have not been this low since I was diagnosed!!!!! I am hopeful this means the Pegasys (Interferon) is working at my current dose. I am happily not having ANY side effects from it at all, but don't want to increase my dose either. I would gladly decrease it, though! I've been "conversing" with some people online and sounds like many take half the dose I'm on...that would be amazing!
Ok...I would love to write about all the fabulous stuff I've been doing lately, but I'm sooo tired. I need to go put my feet up and turn my brain off for a bit. Gotta work the next two days, and I need my strength!
Love and hugs to all,
Mo

That is really good news Mo. Sounds like the med is kicking in nicely.
