I guess this is an okay place to break in and say thank you to everyone for the HAPPY BIRTHDAY well wishes. I'm feeling pretty well these days - just scared of stopping tx and relapsing but aren't we all? If it's meant to be it will be and I'll deal with whatever comes along - we humans always do. You people are really fantastic and you've meant so much to me during my fight with the virus. I wish you all the very best. God bless you all. Mike
Since there are NO other choices that will actually kill The Dragon, the choices are limited. These meds effect all of us differently. Don't let your fear of the meds overcome your fear of the disease. This disease can kill you.....a little arguement won't.
LEANING OVER
One evening a family brings their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and leaves her, hoping she will be well cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seems fine, but after awhile she slowly starts to lean over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she seems fine, but after awhile she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back and once more bring her back upright. This goes on all morning. Later the family arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to her new home. "So, Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?" they ask. "It's pretty nice," she replies. "Except they won't let you fart."
Sometimes you just gotta let folks do what they have to do.....
listen to ellisg, IT IS rare happenings, it is best to read the threads on a daily basis where harmony and humor prevail, and to get a better picture of how the sides affect each one of us. Not every one gets severe sides, they seem to be managable for most.
I believe it is the riba that might cause the short fuses, or enhanced our little personality glitches.
Your fight for a cure should be based on what ellisg mentioned, not a hissing spat.
Be well
Don't let the bitterness effect you. It's rare, thank goodness.
You should just let your Doctor decide on treatment, based on your level of liver fibrosis, along with your viral load count.
Your side effects are 90% manageable. GET RID OF THAT DRAGON!
