Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / March 2008starting tx.
My first batch of meds is waiting at the pharmacy. I am a little nervous after hearing all the horror stories about tx, but I am sick of being tired, guess it's time to bite the bullet, and I feel like fighting, can't wait to get the riba rage! > My first batch of meds is waiting at the pharmacy.

I will join your club on Mar. 25th, when I start 48 weeks of fun. I too am a bit anxious but curious at the same time. I hear that not all have a difficult time with the ordeal. I'll make weekly reports if I don't get too crashed out. Keep us posted on your fun. Are you doing Pegasys or Peg-Intron? Hi Jamffer and topcat, If you want to join a real-time chat room that is pretty exclusive to Hep C sufferers and those currently on treatment or done with it, I recommend coming to Delphi Fourms http://www.delphiforums.com/ and joining in on the *Hep-C Heppers for Awareness* forum, the chat rooms there are listed on the lower left column. It is the top of that list of about five or six. It would be worth your while, you'll be able to get instant experience-based information, and share trials and tribulations in real time with others. No religious stuff, no dictators. This goes for any of the others facing the problems created or left by Hep C that frequent this list. Good luck, keep your chins up guys cactus jammies --- >> My first batch of meds is waiting at the pharmacy.

I am actually feeling hopeful and ready to go. I have sort of gotten used to the fatigue part, that ain't too bad because my job allows "naps" (the benefit of being the boss:), but the dizziness pisses me off frankly, It's still weird that the dr.s keep saying the "dizziness" is not hep-c related, I told him that according to other suffers it is! so, I don't think the AMA data given to dr.s is very currnet, which doesn't help my confidence level. anyway, I'm off to the pharmacy to pick up the batch and put in the fridge till I see the dr. on Wed. good luck and Happy Easter to you all TC On Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:28:16 GMT, "Cactus Jammies" <cactusjammies@retinal.circus.orb>, in message ID <AmREj.119617$w57.2345@edtnps90>, in the newsgroup alt.support.hepatitis-c wrote: >Hi Jamffer and topcat, > If you want to join a real-time chat room that is pretty exclusive to Hep [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Good luck, keep your chins up guys I'll second that. I got a lot of help from the delphi chatrooms and message boards. I tended to use the HephiveUK chat as that's where I'm from. I do still drop in at times and offer support even though I've been hep-free for several years. Just don't believe everything that everyone says though. Although it's a great resource, like everywhere that part of the internet can also be used by the scammers and the gullible. So double and triple check anything that feels odd.

Sure thing tx can be a daunting experience. Just bear in mind that nearly everyone (perhaps everyone ) gets some kind of side effects. For most people they are unpleasant but manageable. For some they can get too much. Rarely, it can be lethal. You are much less likely to see people posting who had a very manageable tx. Mine was pretty unpleasant at times but I got through it. No point comparing too many notes as the journey is a very individual one. > My first batch of meds is waiting at the pharmacy.

It might not be bad at all. My symptoms were minimal. Thank God and I mean that literally. |
