just got results

by shmikis, Aug 12, 2009 07:14PM
I just got results from my GP that my RNA test was positive.
I had to make appt. with internist and hard time with HMO finding ones that are not booked up till end of August
and beginning of September .

Right now I have appt. for next Thursday morning, another week to wait.

I have fatigue, neck and shoulder muscle aches. my mind feels a bilt cloudy, just like I felt when I had depression, could this be causing that, because the immune system is down?

I have really low energy in the afternoons, when I wake up I still feel some energy, but as soon as I get out
I feel out of it, but when I am ready to go to bed , I feel the best because I guess I do not dwell on it.
Also, when it becomes sunny outside it lifts my spirits , is this a sign of depression or could this be in my mind

How bad are these treatments, they are scary to read, could i have an acute form of hepatitis c and maybe get a cure faster.

Do these drugs really make you feel more fatigued and get brain fog, which I feel like I have.

Will I be disabled due to this. Please reply

I had hep C 30 yrs with no symptoms. I am on treatment now. The only side effects are I'm tired alot. I still work with no problem. I have insurance that covers it. I just pay 80.00 a month. I have to be treated for 24 wks. I am type 2.From what I have read alot of people are doing good on the treatment. I do take an anti-dep, I have for years. They help alot. From what I understand most people with Hep C have no symptions.
God Luck with TX
