OVERCOMING THE VIRUS

Liver Scan

2006-07-09T02:34:00.000-07:00

On Monday 3rd July I attended the hospital for liver scan. I had liver scan before I started the treatment. This time nurse said let me view your last scan reports. So with workink on the computer for a few moments, he found my last scan reports. Then he started the scan. The scan was very smooth and quick. The nurse told me that your liver condition pretty much the same there is not much difference. Then he told me that he will send these reports to my doctor.

I came out of the room with incoming questions in my mind, like would my liver damage ever be recovered? or I have to live like that for the rest of my life?As my nurse Susan told me that if liver got big damage like mine 5/6 it is possibility that it would not heal but it would not get any further damage either because there is no virus. That mean I have to live with damaged liver and I have to live with slight liver area pain. I still get tiredness and headache after some work and, perhaps I have to live like that all my life.

I am still happy whatever the situation is ! and thankful to God. Now I got appointment with Doctor Thomas in Sep. 2006 and I am saving my questions for him.

6 Months post treatment PCR Test Results

2006-04-22T08:16:00.000-07:00

On Thursday 2oth April I saw my consultant Prof. Thomas. He is a very busy person. That was my third visit to the hospital to see Dr. Thomas. First time I saw Dr. Thomas In Sep. 2004 and second time in April 2005. My wife was with me. After a while Dr. Thomas called us in. There was two folder in front of him stacking one on the other. He opened the top folder and started reading the folder. After a while he put the folder on his table and started ringing some one. My heart started beating very fast and it was faster when I managed to read some words from the folder that was "Hep. C +" and than I was believing that the virus has come back. I was feeling very low and sad but inside me some where I was feeling a strong blessing of God and I was saying in my heart that I am happy with you Oh, God what ever the result is?

But soon it was revealed that The Prof. Had opened a wrong old folder when he told me that I got Genotype 3a and I need 6month treatment for this and than my wife told him that I had my treatment already. Then the Prof. said Oh, "I am sorry some one put your old folder on the top, one time that old folder was lost and when some one fond it, it was placed on the top of the current folder". (I think the reason Prof. could not recognized me because that was only third appointment with him and it was more than one year after the last appointment.)

Then he opened my current folder and told me the good news that it is still undetectable!!!!!!. On that I took a deep breath and thanked God.

Then Prof. told me that there is no need to see you again, but when I asked him that some time I still feel pain in my liver area. He explained me very nicely that if you got lots of scaring on your liver it will take time to heal and you will feel pain in your liver area. If the liver damage is 6/6 it called cirrhosis it will not be repaired. But in your case your liver damage is 5/6 and it will heal but it will take time. Then he told me that there is a new scan trial in progress to find out liver damage without a liver biopsy. Then he put me for a ultra sound scan and told me that they might put me forward for a new trial scan. I agreed with him. Now I have got an appointment for ultra sound scan on 3rd of July 2006 and an appointment with Prof. Thomas on 19th of April 2007.

I am very thankful to God for good results. and I want to say a special thanks for every one who prayed for me, God bless you all. Now I am able to say that the virus has been killed......, crushed......, defeated....., vanished...... and disappeared....... with the grace of God and with the prayers of you all.

Finally I came out of the hospital and I had to buy a Paddington bear at the Paddington Railway Station for my wife to fulfill my promise that I will buy that paddington bear for her if I got last results undetectable and She was very happy ,I am happy and I pray for every one for there happy news and happy endings..........

Last PCR Test

2006-03-26T03:59:00.000-08:00

Hi, Everybody I have been Away from blogging activities because of some personal reasons. I am catching up with every one,s blog now.

On 22nd of March 2006 I have seen my nurse Susan. She was very polite and good to me as usual. She took my blood samples for 6 month post treatment PCR test. Then she ask me that have I got appointment with my consultant Prof. Thomas ? I told her that I had appointment with him on 6th of April 2006 but now I have received the letter from the hospital that my appointment date has been changed to September 2006. Susan was surprised to hear that. She said I know that Prof. is busy for European conference and the hospital have to change all opponents but my date was very far. So she talked to the hospital and with her effort the hospital gave me the appointment on 20th of April 2006. She told me that she will not ring me about my results , I have to wait until I see my consultant. By this time the result will be ready. She was very nice and she said, "fingers crossed, I hope you will get good results this time too".
God bless her, I pray for every one for good life and good results for their results.

So Far So Good 3 Month Post Treatment PCR Result Undetectable!!!!!!!

2006-01-08T01:55:00.000-08:00

My Nurse was on holiday. She came back on 6th December 2006. So last Friday I rang my nurse and asked her about the results. She was very pleased to tell me that so far so good and my results was undetectable. But she said it not time to celebrate yet, you have to wait for 6 month post treatment PCR test results.

So I am very thankful to God for this. And I want to say thanks to every one who prayed for me. My next appointment with my nurse for 6 month post treatment PCR test is on 23rd march 2006 and then I got appointment with my consultant Pro. H . Thomas on 4th April 2006.

Blood Samples For PCR Test

2005-12-21T07:33:00.000-08:00

On Friday 16th Dec. I saw my nurse. She was very pleased to see me. She asked me how I was. I told her, "I am doing well but some time I get pain in my liver site. And that pain is after dinner when I get wind in my tummy". She told me that it is not necessary that this pain is because of Hep. C, it could be any other reason. Then she told me that your last blood test results show that you are doing very well and your liver functions are becoming normal.

Then my nurse told me that this PCR test is very important. The result could be undetectable or it could be detectable but when you will have your next 24 week after PCR test, the result could be the same as this test or opposite. She told me that you will not get results this year. So ring me after 3rd January 2006. I pray to God for me and every other sufferer for good results and good health.

2005-11-26T12:19:00.000-08:00

I have been away from my computer activities. Now I am trying to catch up with every other blogs.
Post treatment days and I have nearly forgotten that one day I was on treatment. Some time after eating I get wind in my tommy and then I get pain in liver site. I hope and pray its not virus coming back!

Tiredness and breathlessness has finished and I feel almost fit and healthy apart from liver site pain. On 16th December I am going for second PCR test. My nurse have already told me that the result could be undetectable or very less amount of viruses. And it could be detectable! in this case I have to wait for an other new medicine to get the treatment as medicine research for Hep. C is still in progress. So I am not worry about the result. Whatever the result I would accept it and thankful to God.

I pray for every one for good health. I want to say every one Marry Christmas and A Happy New Year. I will be busy to celebrate our second Eid on 10th or 11th January 2006. May God bless us all.

Post Treatment 5th Week ( 31/10/05-06/11/05)

2005-11-02T11:20:00.000-08:00

Post treatment days going very smoothly and very quickly. Every thing is normal. Sometime I get dry skin so I have to use E45 cream. So over all I am doing well. Month of Ramadan is ending to day. And tomorrow I will be celebrating Eid. I will be praying for myself and every other patients for good health.

last week I have seen my nurse. She took blood samples. Then she asked me about my next PCR test date. She told me that my post treatment 12th week is finishing on 18th December and because of the Christmas holidays they might not be able to process my results this year. So I have the choice to come for the test before Christmas or next year in January 2006. She advised me to take the chance before Christmas, so I agreed with her and she booked my next appointment for me on 16th December 2005 for my 1st post treatment PCR test.

Post Treatment Week 3rd (17/10/05-23/10/05)

2005-10-19T11:11:00.000-07:00

Hi Every One I am feeling well. I am busy in my Ramadan Activities. I am getting dry skin and headache for some times. I think this is because of fastening. But I am trying to drink more water with starting and opening the fast. I am continuing to pray for every one for good health.

Last week I was in grief because of South Asia Earthquake. All Natural tragedies like Tusanmi, Katrina hurricane and South Asia Earthquake, show that God wants to test the human and the vast majority of human are showing their good nature of humanity. They are feeling for each others and trying to help each other leaving behind any differences of countries, religions and geographical boundaries. I am sure that God is happy to see these kind of human spirits.

Post Treatment Days

2005-10-07T11:55:00.000-07:00

This Monday morning I had my last 2 ribv tablets. It is now post treatment days. No injection no tablets. I started the treatment and with the blessing of God I have finished my treatment. Now the result of the treatment is with God. I did my job what I could do, having the treatment but the effects and results of the treatment are with God. What ever I get the results I will be happy and thankful to God.

I had two happy things this week. One is finishing the treatment and second is next day, on Tuseday the starting of Ramadan ( The Holy Month The Muslims Do fasting for whole month) . I am busy in Ramadan activities and I am trying to get blessing of God as much as I can. I pray for every one for good health.

Last Week (26/09/05-03/09/05) Injection 24/24 And My journey Of hap C

2005-09-27T03:40:00.000-07:00

Yes...... It is not a dream, this Monday I really have done the last injection very smoothly followed by special Kit Kat with caramel. I congratulate every one who is in the Hep. C bloging group that one of the members is finishing his treatment with the blessing of God and help and support of you all members. I am very grateful to God and I want say special thanks to my wife Mandy and my brother and sister- inlaw and every one who guided and supported me all the way of my treatment. God bless you all.

To day I want to write the summary of my whole Hep C journey. In May 1999 I started feeling pain underneath my right side ribs. It was not very painful but I could feel it as a pain specially after the food and when I was doing long time sitting down work. In the beginning I ignored the pain and carried on my normal life. I told my doctor about this, he told me that nothing wrong with your stomach and he advised me to have pain relief tablets. Once I saw Dr. Basra (an other Dr. In my surgery) I told her about my pain. She was very good and she examined my tummy carefully. At the end she referred me to the gastrology detp. in the hospital.

Dr. Arnold was my consultant. In the first six months he could not diagnose any thing. Then recommended for me to go for an endoscopy test. The nurse told me that I can have this test while I am awake or with anesthetic. I chose having test while I am awake. That was the most horrible thing I faced in the whole of this journey. The Dr. Sprayed inside my mouth and put some thing in my mouth to keep it open. Then two nurses held me down strongly me from my head and arms so I could not move. Then the Dr. Put a moving camera inside my throat. And she moved the camera around in my tummy about 5 minutes. i was feeling sick badly but i could not move. I was near to pushing the nurses away and run away, then the Dr. said that she has finished now and you are very brave.

At my next appointment the Dr. told me that there was nothing in my tummy only one little patch of ulcer. So he gave me prescription for an ulcer treatment. At the next appointment I was seen by another consultant because Dr. Arnold was not there. I told the Dr. that my pain was still there after I had ulcer tablets. Then he examined my tummy again and asked me the exact point of pain. I looked his face and it looked like he found something this time. So he sent me for some blood tests. At the next appointment in November 1999 Dr. Arnold told that I have been diagnosed with Hep. C. and there is nothing to worry about as it is very slow progressing disease. So he sent me to have a liver biopsy test. In April 2000 I had my first liver biopsy. I was very worried about the biopsy, because I had been told that it could cause internal bleeding. At last the biopsy day came and it was done by the registrar of the hospital with out any ultrasound vision with a fine needle. It was very easy and quick very much against my expectations and fears. The result was 2/5 with mild progressing rate. Dr. Arnold sent me to Chelsea and Westminster hospital for treatment.
I saw my consultant and nurses. They were not very encouraging. That time was only interferon treatment not combined. Considering the fact of liver damage only 2/5 I decided not to have the treatment this time.

In 2003 when I started getting fevers and night sweats along with pain I decided to go for the treatment. This time I was sent to St. Marry hospital to see Prof. Thomas. He told me I had to have an other liver biopsy. So in July 2004 I had the second biopsy. This time it was very hard to put the needle in my liver for the Dr. He struggled about 2 to 3 minutes for it and then he could get the needle in. In Sep. 2005 Dr. Told the me very surprising result 5/6 which is still confusing me. So Prof. Thomas put my name in the waiting list. This time there was no choice but to start the treatment.
So from then I started exploring the internet about the treatments and the people who are having or had the treatment. In January 2005 my research took me to Norwich Hep. C support group. From this group I met the man of the blog writing Jonathan Colam. Who had just started the treatment in Des. 2004. I started reading his blog regularly. I was asking him about his diet and different thing what he was doing during his treatment and before the treatment. Really the first man from whom I got lots help and encouragement is Jonathan. He told me about John Tindall Chinese treatment. I tried the Chinese treatment before I started the treatment but it was not suitable for me so I stopped it. Then I started buying multi vitamins and mushroom supplements to get ready for the treatment. As Jonathan told me that do not start to have these vitamins before you start the treatment and you should start the treatment as normally and see what happens. That was very good advice as I did not need any vitamin tablets during the treatment. I was having normal diets but I included fresh fruit in my regular diet. I really very thank full to Jonathan for his guidance and pray for him for good heath.

Then I met Ron Metcalfe. According to Jonathan he was the founder of the bloging about Hep C. I can not forget his full of information blog about Hep. C. God bless him.

With the time Hep. C. bloging Group started growing, I started meeting with more lovely people, like Paul, Nick, Martin, Lu,Steve, Wendy, Sue, Tink, Jane, Jane1962, Miss Poppy and Balom. I can not forget their guidance, support and love. I will always be praying for them and for the other Hep. C. sufferers. God bless them all.

Second Last Week(19/09/05-25/09/05) Injection 23/24

2005-09-21T04:43:00.000-07:00

Thank God it is second last injection. Every thing went smoothly, no major side effects. This week I got itch in side my nose. So I mad my nose sore by rubbing it badly but now the itching becoming less. On Monday I went for hair cut and I noticed that my hair has gone thin. Surely that is one the side effects of the treatment. But I am not worry about the hair loss, it will be recovered.

I pray to God that every one who is having the treatment or who had the treatment God give them good health.

Week 22 (12/09/05-18/09/05) injection 22

2005-09-14T09:38:00.000-07:00

sneeze, sneez, sneeze........Yes this Tuesday morning I got up with sneezing badly. My nose was running and eyes were running with water. I had my breakfast in this bad position and then had my tablets including paracitamols. I went to bed immediately and went to sleep. After 1 hour sleep I got up then the sneezing were in control. On Monday Injection 22 went smoothly. Today I feel better but still feel fluey.

Last week my cat was not well. She got fleas. I used flea spray on her but it was not working.So I went to another pet shop and asked for flea treatment. He showed me tablet treatment. He told me these tablets are very good, they will work within 15 minutes. So I gave one tablet to my cat. And after 10 minutes she was running here and there and itching badly as the shopkeeper told me. Then the cat came to me with panic. I stroke her and put her on the floor. I took the cat brush I start combing her hair. I saw too many dead fleas start dropping. So I gave her good comb after half an hour the cat went to sleep. And I left her to have good sleep. Next morning I put special flea collar which should last for 12 months.

Week21(05/09/05 -11/09/05)Injection 21

2005-09-06T04:25:00.000-07:00

This Monday was injection 21/24. That mean only 3 more to go. This injection went smoothly. Last week I was feeling fluey . All week I was sneezing and getting fever. The other thing I noted that I am feeling water near my ears in side my mouth. When I try to swallow I can hear crackling in my ears. I don't now that is one of the side effects of the treatment or not.

I rang my nurse to ask her about my PCR test. She told me that in this hospital we do PCR test 12 week after the first injection, 12 week after the last injection and 24 weeks after the last injection. I pray to God that we all get good health in future.

20th Week(29/08/05-05/09/05) Injection 20 And Nurse Appointment

2005-08-31T17:20:00.000-07:00

This Monday was the 20th injection. It was done very smoothly. I have found and chose 5 injection sites on my tummy that never been used. So I have no worry about for the rest of the injections. Every thing is going well. Some time I get sore mouth but after a while I get better.

On Tuesday I saw my nurse. The nurse was very happy to see me. She gave me the last med. slip. She told me that there will be extra tablets and you need to return them to the pharmacy. I will take the last injection on Monday the 26th of September and last 2 tablets on Monday morning the 3rd of October. She told me that I will see you one month after your last injection and she will take my blood samples for normal tests. In the beginning of January 2006 she will call me for SENSITIVE PCR test and in April 2006 I will see my consultant Professor Dr. Thomas for annual review.

I forgot to ask the nurse that why I do not have PCR test after I finished the treatment. The only thing I can think that perhaps every hospital have there own budget and rules. I pray for every hep. c sufferer to get better. God bless every one.

19th Week(22/08/05-28/08/05) Injection 19

2005-08-23T05:10:00.000-07:00

This Monday was my 19th injection day. This time it was not very smooth. First of all it was very hard to find the injection site. My tummy is full of tiny injection marks. They are not very big and not hurting at all but it was hard to find the free site. My wife teases me and says your tummy is like a pin cushion and laughs.
Because I did not want to extend the area of injection sites on my tummy, so I decided to put the injection in between the two old sites. When I put the injection in it was hurting a lot and after the blood came out. But the rest of the things were ok. No major side effects. Every thing is going well and I thank God for that. God bless every one.

18thWeek(15/08/05-21/08/05) Injection 18 In Cardiff.

2005-08-18T05:22:00.000-07:00

Last Friday my wife,s sister called us to her place for a few days. So we all went to Cardiff. I took my medicine with me. For injection I have to buy a little portable fridge. Which can be used with car adopter.

So in Cardiff we visited The Welsh Life museum. It was very interesting. My wife was interested in coal Mine pits because her father was a Coal Miner. So we went to see the "Big Pit" . It was very interesting. We went in to the actual coal Mine. We had to wear the working hats with a light bulb at the front and gas mask around our waist before we entered the cave. That was our first time experience. He showed us things about coal miners that how they were working hard and how dangerous it was. The guide told us that too many people were lost their lives while working in the caves. It was really very good trip and we all enjoyed it. Then we went to get ride on a 1958 old steam train. It was also a good trip.

In Cardiff on Monday injection 18, I put in smoothly. But soon after I was sneezing badly. Then I had parasitamol tablets. I was ok after a few hours.

On Tuesday it was very hot day so we decided to enjoy Barry Island beach in Cardiff. On Wednesday evening we were back in London.

17thWeek(08/08/05-14/08/05)injection 17

2005-08-10T09:20:00.000-07:00

This Monday I had injection 17 as normal as the last one. No major side effects. I am going towards the end of the treatment slowly but steadily. Last week I was getting sore mouth again ,so I used rinstead pastilles and my sore mouth has nearly gone.

The confusion in my PCR test result has been cleared, as I asked Martin and my nurse. Because the viral load before I started the treatment was very high. It was over 2 millions. Now at the half of the treatment the viral load is only 32000. It is a big drop. Hopefully at the end of the treatment the virus will disappear. I can only pray to God for this.

16thWeek(01/08/05-07/08/05)Injection 16 and PCR Result

2005-08-03T16:15:00.000-07:00

Injection 16 went in smoothly as normal. And no major side effects. Just slight fever and sneezing. I had paracetamol tablets 2 hours after the injection.
Today I attended the nurses appointment. My nurse Marry Crossy has retired and she was not there. My new nurse Susan attended me. She is very nice and very polite. She gave very good news that my treatment is responding and we are continuing the treatment.I was very happy to hear that. Atleast I did not suffer by the treatment for nothing.Then she took blood samples and gave me my next appointment date. She said you look healthier and brighter than I saw you before the treament. Then she asked me if there is any problems I am facing? I said no I am fine at the moment. She said if there is any problems you can ring me.

Then she gave me the copy of my PCR test result, which I could not under stand very well. The result is as below.

HCV Quant .RNA(bDNA): <615 IU/ml 19.07.05
HCV Quant .RNA(bDNA): <3,200 coppies/ml
COMMENTS:
Fluctuating low levels of HCV RNA may not be detected by PCR.

All I know that my nurse told me that my treatment is responding and I am carrying on with my treatment, I thank God for that.

15thWeek(25/07/05-31/07/05) Injection 15

2005-07-26T10:15:00.000-07:00

Yesterday injection 15 went in smoothly followed by special edition caramel kitkat and twenty minutes rest. No major side effects. My cough has nearly disappeared. I have finished the course of antibiotic tablets. I was having amoxoline 500mg three times a day. In the beginning when started these tablets my head became like a stone. I was going to stop the tablets but I thought if I want to heal my throat and eat as normal I have to complete the course. I was feeling very thirsty so I started drinking water more often. Then I have to go to the loo again and again, that was very annoying. By drinking more water, my head started becoming lighter so I kept drinking water more often for three days. I think I drank 5Litrs a day and that is double the amount I usually drink these days.Thank God now I am ok and I am eating normal. I am trying to eat lots fruits like mango, bananas, apples, melons and strawberries ext plus juices. as a regular diet. Because fruits helped me to maintain my energy level when I could not eat.

14thWeek(18/07/05-24/07/05) Injection 14

2005-07-20T06:24:00.000-07:00

My fever has continued from Sunday until Monday noon.after I had a bath the fever was gone.So I had my injection in the evening.After the injection I had my special kit kat with 20 minutes rest. Until now no fever at all . And thank God no side effects at the moment.

I still have a tickly cough. I am taking antibiotic tablets aswell and the cough is becoming less.I am eating easily, not with hunger thou. I think my continued fever was because of my throat infection.
I hope for good luck for the rest of the week and rest of the treatment.

No Chest Infection

2005-07-17T20:34:00.000-07:00

Hi Every One ,

Thanks for all your sympathy, advises and help. I really appreciate all your feelings sharing with me.

On Saturday I was still suffering from fever and cough. This morning position was the same. So I decided to go to the casualty. So me and my wife went to the local hospital about 11:30 am.the hospital examined me thoroughly, blood tests and x-ray. Thank God all results were fine. But the doctor told me that i got throat infection, so he prescribed antibiotics tablets 5:00pm we were back home.
On Monday morning I will inform my GP and nurse, hopefully I will continue with my next injection.

thank you once again Martin, Nick, Sue and Ron for your help.

Fever And tickle Cough/ Stop The Injection?

2005-07-16T10:10:00.000-07:00

This whole week I was suffering from fever and tickle cough like last week.In the morning when I brush my teeth I feel too much cough and lots of white flaming water comes out of my mouth. And my hunger has gone. On Friday my wife rang the nurse. The nurse told me that I should not get fever two day after the injection and I should go to the GP. So I manage to get the appointment with my GP at 4:30 pm.the GP examined me. Then he said every thing looks fine but there is a chance that you might got chest infection. Then he called to the hospital for latest blood test results. After a while the hospital faxed my blood results. The GP told me that blood results are fine but there is no results of PCR test yet. Then he told me that there is a small chance of chest infection so you need chest X ray but the problem is this is Friday after noon and it is not possible that I could look at the Xray results. so take the slip and go for Xray on Monday. If you feel worse you need to go the casualty.

Then he told me that ring me on Monday morning and tell your position so I can discuss with your nurse about weather should you carry on the next injection or not?

I am confused myself about the situation??????????

13thWeek(11/07/05-17/07/05)Injection 13

2005-07-12T11:21:00.000-07:00

Last week was fever week. Almost every day I was getting fever, some time I was very hot and some time I was very could plus on Thursday day London bomb blast happened that gave me more grief. I had paracitamols but it was not very effective. Plus I had diarrhoea, I had to go to loo again and again. My wife was suffering from the same hot and could fever and diarrhoea. I don't know I caught these thing from her or she caught from me, or we both caught from some where else.On Sunday we both were ok.I noticed that I get double vision next day after the injection and it disappears after a while.
yesterday injection 13 went in smoothly. In the morning I went to see my nurse. She was very busy. We did not talk much. She gave me blood test slips for PCR test and booked next appointment for me.

Muslims and terrorists

2005-07-08T16:06:00.000-07:00

Muslims And terrorists, Yes these are the two words most of the people are speaking together these days. Perhaps they have to because people who are doing these horrible and unrecoverable damages they are claiming to be Muslims.

I have read my religious books Al-Quran and Sunna, there is no chance to harm or kill any innocent people. If you kill one innocent person according to Islamic law they have to face death in this world or they will face hell in the next world for ever. Just imagine in Sep. the 11th, and in London and in other places how many innocent people they have killed and how deepest they will be put in to the Hell.

So if you don't believe in Quranic educations you are not Muslim at all. There is one group of people we call them QADIANI they do every single act what a Muslim should do. But don't believe in just One Islamic order. So all Muslims believes that according to Islamic law you have to accept a complete code of life. You can not choose or change Gods law. So the QADIANI people are not entitled to call themselves Muslims if they called themselves as Muslims, Muslims would not accept them as a part of there community.

So the terrorist groups are. If they called themselves Muslims, no true Muslim will accept them as a part of the Islamic community because they are completely out of Islamic educations and teachings.

I feel deeply sorry for all the families who lost their loved ones in this terrible tragedy. Of course their loss is unrecoverable. God give them patience.

12thWeek(04/07/05-10/07/05)Injection12/24

Yesterday 12th injection went smoothly. No major side effects, all went ok as before. Half done well done.

But I noticed that last week most of the days and this morning I got double vision. One day I was watching T.V. I pressed the select Key on the Sky remote to see the time on the screen, but I noticed that I could not read the time. Every word on the screen was look shady and blurry. I thought that perhaps I need to wash my eyes so I washed my eyes but no difference. So I accepted the situation as a side effect of the treatment. About Friday I was ok but today I got it again.

Normally the day I feel very healthy before the next injection is Sunday, but last Sunday I was busy with my family in packing the stuff up as my brother and sister in law were going back to their country( Thanks for their support and help while they were here). So I could not eat any thing after the breakfast, it was late for dinner aswel. So we decided to go to a restaurant for dinner. As I was sitting in the restaurant, waiting for my dinner I felt my head was going off. I could see every one in front of me but I could not hear them. My wife was asking me are you alright but I could hardly hear her like she was calling me from very far away. Meanwhile dinner was their and I stated eating ignoring the situation. As I was eating my dinner and drinking 7up, I felt that my head is coming back. Thank God I was ok after a while.
I concluded that I should not go without eating while on treatment. I should take special care of my diet.
