I finally got in touch with my daughter to ask questions on Hep c and
treatment.  She stated that most people are not aware they have Hep or
any other communicable disease.  It is a courtesy to let the Dr. know
but not necessary.  In some instances by letting the Dr. know treatment

I'm not sure I have your correct e-mail address and wanted to make sure you
knew how sweet I thought it was of you to send me a Christmas card. I loved
it. I hope you and Gerald had a wonderful holiday!
Love,

I want to thank all of you for your responses.  I am a little better now.  I
do believe I need to get on some kind of anti-d I just have been trying to
avoid it but after today I know I can't always control it by myself.  Thanks
again for everything and a special thank you to Sara.  ...

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of
the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men
often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will

Suprisingly for a fifty something year old hippy who has a job that
makes everyone think I must be a superrepublican, the more I listen to
this band, the more I like them.
Is this just weird or a side effect of tx??

Hi, lurking here for well over a year. You are all very informative and
thanks for that. You also seem very close knit and friendly. I thought I
would post and (briefly) say Hi, and wish you all Happy Holiday's.
I was going to post before, wrote several long things, then deleted ...

4 days after stopping tx on my BCLDs advice (although all my blood work
was fine except VL) I crashed while watching TV. Started feeling a
little warm & sweaty and the next thing I know my wife is slapping the
sh.t out me and talking on the phone tp 911.

A little over a week ago I was advised to discontinue treatment because
my damn virus was still replicating after 29 weeks of 15 mcg  of
Infergen and 1200 mg.
I have decent insurance, 10 six packs of Infergen, and 3 jars of Riba

I've been lurking here for a couple of months.  I think I instinctively like
most of you.
So I come to you with three strikes against me.
Strike One - I deliver mail for the United States Postal Service.

Just started pegasys last Friday. BCLD recommended ibuprofen over
tylenol but did say either was ok at recommended doses. Does one seem
to work better than the other for tx aches and pains?

Thanks for all the words of encouragement.Started Infergen last night
with a bad cold.I probally should have waited but i had this cold for
several days.Can i take Tylenol,etc without altering the effectiveness
of the meds?    John

Well, just because it's Christmas, I'm going to share my all time favorite
poem here.  I'm sure I'll take a few turds upside the head for it, but
many of you will appreciate it.  Hearts going out -> kj
