Through the Dark Side

[viperine]

Hello All,

I am one of the lurkers that stayed in the background while going through 48 week treatment.  Yesterday, I had my 6 month post treatment check-up and I am all clear.  I post this to thank everyone for the strength you gave me, even though I did not participate.  Sharing your story let me know that I was not alone.

I post for all those that are going through the rough times to "hang in there" you will make it through.

Thank you,

Linda

"CONGRATULATIONS LINDA"....the feeling you must have is better than winning the lottery.

Along with everyone else, thank you for sharing your success.  As someone who has just made the decision to treat but has not started yet any successes make me less fearful and more optimistic about the future.

Hey, congratulations! Thanks for "coming out of the darknes" to post your success. It inspires the rest of us. It is also inspirational to know that you received comfort and encouragement from this forum. I think so many of us feel the same way. I would look forward to hearing how you are doing and feel down the road. Many will be following that path and are anxious to know what life can be like post SRV.

Stay healthy,
Brent

We all love hearing success stories, CONGRATS!!! You are right about the prescription cream for the rash. I suffered for a month and it has gotten so much better since being to the Doc and starting the cream.
Have a great summer and a wonderful life without the Hep C cloud hanging over your head!

Linda thank you for the comments.

Please - once you get your breath back --- about 4 - 6 months down the line - if you can do it --- and you feel you can give back to this community - please - come and post and help newcomers get over there terror - give them hope and share your experiences ---- we could use your help.

I'm so happy for your UND/SVR status.

Much luck to you in the future.

I'm only at 5th shot so I can tell you that it IS nice to hear success stories.  Especially when I'm having my "Saturday morning hangover".  

It's soooo ironic.  I've never been an injectable drug user in my life and , now, to cure a disease that already had such a stigma,  I become one myself- symptomology and all.
