Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / August 200648 down and 6 months to go
until hopefully I get SVR. What a trip this has been. I could not of done this without your compassion, knowledge and encouragement. Would I do this again - in a heartbeat if it meant my life being saved. I had a very difficult time with the side effects. As most of you know I was in a study that would not allow for neuprogen and they reduced my interferon dose from 4 to 3 for a total of 3 weeks during the course of tx. I took 1000mg of riba per day. I think that once my neuts dropped it was downhill all the way and no coming back from this. I ended up with 5 kidney infections since January and I am extremely anemic. I started out with a large weight loss, extreme fatigue, depression and moved into blood work crashing. I managed to work for 4 months - went to Mexico for the 5th month and tried to go back to work but couldn't do it. I have just managed to lay around and finish the course of tx. I think I am one of the extreme cases for side effects (my mother always said I got things twice as bad lol). For Geno 1's there seems to be a compounded effect past the 6 months. Once would think it gets easier but it gets worse. I don't want to scare anyone off treatment but in reality there are a few like me who can barely function - others seem to cope very well. Kind of pisses me off lol and makes we feel wimpy but this was out of my control. Once again thanks for the info, entertainment and friendship.

You plowed thru your last couple of weeks with grace, I only hope that I can do the same. Good luck on getting SVR though I have a good feeling that you will. I'm probably one of those you are pissed off at since (with the help of lots of side effect meds) I am doing relatively well. Anyway, congrats on finally finishing tx, YAY for you!!! *gives you a standing ovation* Ally That is so sweet of you Ally. I am glad your breezing through this - it gives people more inspiration than I can lol. Mags the flip side of the coin > > until hopefully I get SVR. What a trip this has been.
