Week 18 – Sunday
Today is one of my flagging days, I think. I have been awake for 6 hours and I am feeling like I ‘coming to’ only now. (I wrote that 3 hours ago and I am only now finsihing this short post!)
Carol gave me a massage in her treatment room this morning – choosing ‘invigorating’ and ‘energising’ essential oils and I think it has done the trick. As well as clearing the toxins and the knotted muscles!
I don’t know if it’s residual tiredness from a busy week or just an interferon and ribavirin ‘off day’. Having ‘forced’ myself to wake at 6 am on Monday and Wednesday I am still waking early each morning – although this morning I slept until 7:30 (despite deciding I could have a lie-in).
Looking at the comments and emails about my post yesterday I guess there is more I want to say yet, but I think I will leave that until tomorrow! I am too ‘low energy’ to think properly about it at the moment!!
As it is Sunday, Carol and I are about to set off to yoga class. I am feeling too ‘low energy’ to do this – but I suspect I will perk up a bit when I get there (pre-exercise resistance!). I am remembering last week’s class with the teacher advising me to take it easy across the crowded class!

Ron,
You are running around like a two year old, dealing with media, meeting new people, working in a difficult field including counselling, managing a website, dealing with difficult people on said website, and all the while on anti-viral chemotherapy – and you are wondering why you are tired. Have some mercy on yourself and take a well earned break.
Chill. Leave the bloody blog for a few days. We will all be here when you get back.
What you are doing is heroic, but it isn`t worth putting your own recovery at stake.
Paul.
