still coming back from interferon

I have insomnia which causes me to be more emotional then normal. I'm more uptight then I use to be. I have lots of energy. I feel I'm making up for lost time. All the times I had to take naps from being ill from the hcv. My kids don't understand why I want to be organized, why I want to have events on calenders. I was so relaxed in the past. All the time they were growing up, I was not organized. Now that I'm playing catch up to twenty years of illness, I just have a desire to be organized. I was always envious of others that had a smooth running house hold. As a single mother I was already at a disadvantage. Not complaining, I'm just trying to understand the new me.

I still have mood swings of high and low. Often this can happen in a short period of time. Not having a good nights sleep may contribute to this. I went to the doctor today to get some true sleep aids. I found out the xanax I took was not a true sleep aid but more for anxiety. I had blood work done. This is the test to let me know if I'm rid of the Hep=c. Also testing my thyroid and hormones. All of those can affect my mood and can be caused by the interferon tx. I hope we find some answers.


For the most part, I feel good, lots of energy, working, enjoying life.
