      Reached day 21 in my new trial. other than a slight non-bothersome rash between my shoulders i havent really had any side effects. This week i have returned to work and trying to resume life as usual. i have had some slight fatigue but not sure if it is actually related to the trial or the fact that i have been pushing myself harder than i have in the last year. Looking forward to my 2 mo. scan at the end of march to see if this thing is working. I know that i will never completely regain a completely normal life, but at least i can have the chance at the illusion of one.

Since the interferon ended my appetite has went thru the roof and i have gained 15lbs since december. My mental state has had its ups and downs in the last year mainly because of the interferon/lexapro combo and lately just do to having lots on my mind. I am on a mission to keep my head up believe in my docs and this trial, its an uphill battle but im never going to give up.
