        A belated thank you to those of you who responded to my initial post.  The information, suggestions and support you all provided have been very helpful.  My husband has completed 4 weeks of the home injections and, although he has been able to get back to work some, he would say today that this injection phase seems to be harder than the month of daily infusions.  We keep hoping for a little window of energy on that second day after the 3 injections of the week are done but that has not been the case.  The fatigue just doesn't let up and, similar to others, he has developed a persistent cough and identifies with those of you who have described a 'brain fog'.  We are continuing on for now and hopeful that he may have a similar experience to that of Kelly's husband – who, in a response to another post, said that things got a bit better after week 4.  

        Onward…
