Note to self

From now on, either stay awake or have someone ready to wake you up four hours after the start of your treatment so you can take another double dose of Tylenol. The same goes for four hours after that. Don't skip it - ever. When the nurse suggests that you take additional Benadryl at home for the rash, don't wait to see how it looks in the morning. Just take it. Never underestimate the power of the interferon. Just because you don't have aches/chills/high fever yet, does not mean they won't be here within minutes. At least consider going to bed at 6:00pm and staying there till the next morning. Continue with the Rita's Italian Ice therapy ;-).
