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!

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

Hi guys,I'm doing Pegasys,  thanks for the info on the other goup CJ,
I will look into it.  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

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.

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