Thank you both for the encouraging, cheer-leading words also!  You are in my prayers, and I will continue to pray, as I will still visit this site for a long time.  I have been helped by people directly, and helped indirectly by many others who will never know.  After next Friday- my last shot (not counting procrit) I will keep you posted as to how quickly I heal (I hope) and how life goes on.  It gets better from here & soon you'll be in my shoes.
Keep smiling and....
Lookin-up!!!

Hi Debra
I started a new thread without reading yours- sorry about that

Hey Great news that you made it through the 1st day. I just got my first shot 7 hours ago, and have slight fever, chills, and a headache, have taken tylenol and getting ready to go to bed (it is midnight now for me- i am on the other side of the globe)

Lets all fight this together--------Sunag

I am so glad that your first experiance was not to terribly bad --- I hope & pray that your tx goes easy, as it does for some.  Doesn't it feel emotionally good to finally start the fight & be active in the slaying of the dragon??!!!!!  My best goes out to you!  Oh, Debra, I have 1 more to go!!  Honestly, these 47 weeks went by much faster than I ever dreamed!  I didn't physically have too easy a time, due to my occupatiion, but I took up new hobbies that doesn't take much energy, like beading & crocheting my Grandson a blanket.  It's unbelievable tx went so fast, and I pray the same for you..... YOU TOO CAN DO IT!!!
Your friend in the world of hcv,
With much love & care,
Lookin-up (Penny)
