Glad to hear you're feeling so much better already, Brian. Your body got
hammered pretty thoroughly I imagine, after all.

The hair thing is pretty wild, ain't it? My naturally very curly hair went
dead straight as well - including eyelashes and beard hair and you can imagine
what else ;-)

It all got back to normal within 6 months of ending the tx drugs. I kinda miss
the straight hair tho - it was easier to deal with than what I was born with.

I agree with the liver biopsy, at least to have a benchmark. The degree of
urgency may well play a key role in the next big decision...

Cheers

Already Feeling Better  

Group: alt.support.hepatitis-c Date: Tue, Feb 20, 2007, 4:35pm (CST+1)
From: brian502@guess.com (brian)
My last Infergen injection was last Weds 2/14/07.And I'm already feeling
half way physically normal again(not that I've ever been normal).I
suffered with constipation throughout the whole tx.Now fairly normal
BM's again.Sometimes I wished that I had the loose stools that I hear so
much about.No more Cit of Mag for me.My sex drive is returning.I
actually found myself looking at porn today.The thought of sex actually
made me nauseas during tx.My color is returning to normal.My rash is
already clearing up.In a few weeks I think I'll shave my head &
body.Maybe what grows back will resemble normal hair.During tx my head &
body hair grew like crazy and became straight as an arrow.Even my
eyelashes.Really strange looking.Never really had any hair loss
though.Now my mental state is something else.My mind is racing most of
the time and I have a terrible feeling of impending doom.Almost like
panic attacks.Very vivid & bizarre dreams as well.Is there a such thing
as Interferon or RibaVirin withdrawal?When I go back to the BCLD he will
start weaning me from the Norco & Xanax.I really dread that.I would have
never gotten through the tx without the Norco.Although I only allowed
myself 2 pills a day.My Doc doesn't seem to think that I should have
much trouble with that small dosage.I think I'll ask for a Liver Biopsy
when I go back.I have never had one and I think it would be important in
making any future decisions.Enough of my rambling.I thank each and
everyone of you for your support!I know that I ran my mouth way to much
and was even a loudmouth at times.Thanks for understanding.
PEACE,
BrianD
