side effects

None to speak of, thank God! I don't feel like there are any meds going through me,,thank God.

This is great so far. The tiny bit of woozy feeling I felt originally, which WAS TINY TINY TINY BIT, nothing scary or anything, is gone and it feels like I am not on tx. I did get a headache 4 hours after the shot and chills, felt like flu,,,,but to those that are planning on tx,,,,,don't even worry about that 'flu feeling' that is mentioned by those treating,,,its nothing that you have never felt before.

I haven't had the flu since i was a child and so when i felt it comming on,,,I turned it to actually think of good memories,,,,I hated school as a child and when i got the flu,,i would be in bed all day with my mother giving me soup and liquids and such. Hard to explain, but I let my imagination take me back to that time and I had a 'safe feeling,' Not to sound 'new age,' which i am not, but just wanted you to know that I just rode the wave, knowing it was going to eventually go away and it did.

The reason I am saying all this is because alot of times we hear how scary treatment is and thus far,,,its a piece of cake,,I am telling those that are afraid,,NOT TO FEAR. Yes sometimes people may have a harder time than others, but sometimes we don't get enough of posts of the positive. We only post when things go wrong sometimes.
Of course I know I have a only been on tx for 4 days, but I AM TELLING YOU, IF I DIDN'T SEE MYSELF TAKE THE INJECTION AND MEDS, I WOUDLN'T EVEN KNOW THEY ARE IN MY BODY.

I hope this helps those who may be fearful. Best wishes to you all.

Hi sunspot, chev, come on in. Sunspot, put your guns over there in the corner next to mine. Rev's in the bathroom. We just came back from the dog park.

Rev has these great shoes, but why he wore them to the dog park, I'll just never know. He stepped in dog poop.

Well,unfortuanately some don't clean up after their dogs. He took his shoe off and wiped it on the ladies shirt!, the dog owner that is. I nearly died.

When he stepped in it,he didn't say anything or act mad or
anything. He just casually walked over to this lady who owned the dog, bent down took his shoe off and wiped it on her shoulder.

She just stared at him. He smiled, put his hand on her other shoulder, so he could balance himself and he put the shoe back on. She had a look of terror on her face. She didn't make a peep. After that she picked up her little maltese and left. But he was right. The lady should have had a pooper scooper with her or a bag or something.

Hey,listen to me,,does it sound like I'm defending my brother or what??,,yeah, I guess he was wrong, but I don't know, I guess right now, I'm on such a cloud that we found each other, i can't see any wrong in anything he does.

Wait, Come on, Stop jumping!! Sunspot, don't let his dog jump on you!!... Rev, how do ya get Cheney to stop jumping on people?
No rev, come on,,I'm not gonna smack him and neither are you anymore. Oh, okay rev, I thought you may have been kidding. I didn't think you'd hit your dog. Ya know Rev acts like hes so so ya know,,but he'd give ya the shirt off his back.

Ya know what I forgot? I have to pick up a few things at the store,,tell Rev I'll be back later.. Did i tell ya we're gonna be on the Oprah show? I'll tell ya when I come back,,so excited!!

to be continued...............

Typical of those of your narrow mind set, rather than accept the facts as they stand, you blame others. You get really nasty and make ridiculous statements. Now I shop at Pottery Barn? Sorry to disappoint you, but you are wrong as usual. Pottery Barn isn't "green" so no self respeecting liberal shops there FYI. There are those of us who are consciously trying to HELP our ailing planet by spending our money with companies that are "green" but I bet you shop at WalMart, one of the worst corporate offenders world wide in the destruction of our planet for corporate gain. 2006, warmest year ON RECORD in the history of the US. That should scare you. A LOT. But I bet you think "global warming" is another "liberal media" ruse.
Go tune in to Rush Limbaugh ( a drug using criminal and a liar) and fill your mind with more lies and agenda pushing rhetoric. History will show this as the most corrupt administration our country has ever seen and Bush as the worst preident on record. Even his OWN SUPPORTERS have bailed out, they want no part of his megalomaniac behavior. He will leave this mess he created for the next DEMOCRATIC president that will run this country and try to clean up this disaster area these fools have created. ( Cuteus, love your analogy and so true, it is a disater area, just look at NO) Bush is such a sneaky creepy guy, he went and developed this new "war plan" without even consulting congress prior to announcing it ( so much for his bi partisanship) and totally ignored the Commission's report on the war. Unbelieveable. Now he is concentrating all our defenses in Iraq which history shows us is very dangerous militarily, did you also forget PEARL HARBOR?? You seem to know nothing of history and what we have learned or should have learned from it. We had all our defenses concentrated in one place then too, but apparently you forgot about that little incident Dec. 7, 1942. We were so strapped for soldiers and pilots after they were all killed at Pearl Harbor, we didnt even have but a handful of combat pilots left to attack Tokyo! They had to send the bombers in in what was basically a suicide mission we were so ill prepared because we lost so many at Pearl Harbor due to our MILITARY CONCENTRATION there. Geez, read a book for God' sake.

Your clown of a Prez. is now seeking to create "strategic hamlets" In Iraq, I guess in your right wing history books they dont mention this was TRIED AND FAILED during the Vietnam war, a war not unlike this one in that we were fooled into and lied to to get into it. GW must be using the Vietnam handbook on how to start an unwarranted war and then lose it as he is doing the same things that were done then. Now he is jeopardizing our ability to defend ourselves globally by sending even more of our fine Americans into a war that should not have been started. I hope you and your ilk NEVER are given the rein to our country again,this clown wasn't even elected he cheated his way into office, just like he cheated his way out of military service. We are now over a 1,000 days past the day that this dipsh*t president declared this Iraq war OVER. Remember that, your "leader" declaring Victory in Iraq running around with combat gear on on an aircraft carrier? Oh, I forgot, you don't watch/read the news because it is controlled by the "liberals"
By the way, you giving a history lesson is like getting medical advice from Donald Duck, you don't know squat. Try reading an actual book and turn off the right wing radio chatter.
You probably believe the "liberal media" also controls book publishing too.

Hey guys,,,come on in, I told ya,,,parties over, though. Cuteus,while your standing over there, can you open the back door and let my dog out? Thanks.

Kalio, come here a minute, babe, don't get mad at me, come on sit down. BTW, do ya like that little breakfast nook? Got it at pottery barn,,thats where you like to shop don't ya? They have lots of earth friendly products, is that why ya go there?.

So lets go back over this,,I know what ya said to me, but don't get all crazy like that again,ok? Its just a discussion.

Okay, I'll try to make it short. It would take for ever to go over everything with you, but I'll pick out a vital issue.

You said...how can you blame "liberals" when Conservatives are in charge?

Okay, let me give you a little bit of history, The democrats had control of BOTH HOUSES FOR OVER 40 YEARS (caps for emphasis, not yelling) Democrats lost control 12 years ago and won it back this November.

FOURTY LONG YEARS OF LIBERALISM (remember not yelling) IS WHY WE ARE WHERE WE ARE AT!!!! But, I will agree with you about one thing. George el stinko,,, and I voted for him, ,,but,, I always admit WHEN AND IF I see a mistake I made.But there was slim pickins  for that election.

Something else you said, caught my interest. You told me politics don't belong here and I agree with you,,,BUT how come you never ever said anything to Rev when he would post political statements? Was it because he was knocking Bush and you enjoyed it,or is it because you are afraid to go toe to toe with him? hmmm

You also chose to ignore things that were said 'directly at you'(by him),and'about you'in a negative way. I will admit it,, you made yourself look quite good,,,, to be able to ignore all that,,,,but here am I,,,,saying something that 'you don't like,' BUT NOT directed at 'you',,,more of a general statement and you come knocking at my door,sit at my table, stare me in the eye, ooh Kalio,,, don't worry ,,I have more milk, use the rest of that,,,excuse me Kalio,,,,, Cuteus,,you can leave if ya want, don't have to stay, we're adults,,,,oh okay, ya wanna stay, no problem...But Cuteus, can ya get the phone and just say I'm in the shower or something, thanks.

Okay kalio, ya know what I mean?? Here you come, gunning for me and yet,,,you stood clear of REV,,which NOW I obviously know that it wasn't because you were trying to be the bigger person,because IF that was it,,,you could have chose to ignore ME,,,, but if its not that, what was it???

Ya know what???I didn't want to tell anyone this and,,, this isn't how I wanted everyone to find out,,, but,,, me and Rev,,,we,,we ah,,we just found out we were,, separated at birth. Yes he's my brother,..twin brother!!. I know how you feel, it came as a shock to me too!!. *##CRASH###* Cuteus,honey, don't worry about that plate, I'll clean it up, watch the glass. Where'd ya put your shoes?

Getting back to Rev,we met recently after finding this out,,,long story,,. We look alike,,, drive the same car,,, like the same food, use the identical hair brush, shampoo and conditioner. Well politics, yeah, okay, but so what??, we leave that subject alone. The likes were so amazing!!!. They say this is common with twins that were separated at birth, all the similarities and stuff,,,AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT WE DID!!!!! We CALLED OPRAH!!!!!SHE IS DOING AN HOUR LONG SHOW ON US,,TWINS SEPARATED AT BIRTH,yada yada yada,,,It will be great to get publicity for Hep C too,,,So see,, ya did help us talk about Hep on Oprah,, sorta in an indirect way!! Got to talk to her "personally", because of being friends with YOU!,thanks so much kalio!!,Me and Rev knew you wouldn't mind if we used your name,,being friends with ya and all that,,,but its just so,,, oh man!! Can't believe it!!!!, its so amazing!!!!,,who would think????, that we would meet after all these years, separated at birth!!.

Cuteus,you look like you've seen a ghost. He really didn't tell you?? I thought for sure he would. Glad he kept his word.
Okay, now ,,can everyone go home? Remember I did just start treatment and I want to rest a little, plus Rev is stopping by in a little while.Ya can stay if you want to meet him in person,,I know you never really met,,,but seeing each other in person was awesome. Well anyhow, just picture me with short hair,,cuz we are identical, ya know.  We're going to take our dogs to that new dog park and catch up on some talking. Oh lets just forget about the politics stuff,,,BTW you mentioned something about wondering how George was going to be written about in history books,,well what about Bill??He can 'not only' fill the history books, but playboy too if he so chooses.

Oh BTW did you hear Bill is going to a shrink for sex addiction?.True though,,,really. I wonder if it has anything to do with his wife running for office. But then again I know that doesn't bother you. You guys out there keep his personal life separate from his presidency, when he was president. Didn't matter. But we can agreeably disagree.

Oh btw,on a serious note, I never did anything to you, but I have noticed that over time you would never want to post anything in any of my threads,,,,wonder why? Now you can use THIS as an excuse,if ya want, but ya had no excuse before this, other than I say loud an clear that I love the Lord,, and guess what?? HE loves me,,,,HE loves You too btw. Just so you know,,,, this ends here. I won't answer anything related to this post from you. You had your say and now I had MINE.

And here's a little favorite saying of mine,,not scripture,,so you don't have to be afraid to read it.,,

"Never mistake kindness for weakness."

on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being strongly disagree and 5 strongly agree, I give this one a big FIVE: "He should be tried for war crimes and impeached"
Of course, I don't see that happening in my lifetime. The end of this administration will leave behind a sight akin to a disaster area.  I can't wait to read what the history books print.  I heard they are printed out of Texas...

ok, now I go back and hide behind the finch's nest!

You said
",this country is going down the tubes because of people allowing liberals to get away with their garbage..."


You have got to be kidding.  Our "leader" and I use that word loosly is NOT a Liberal yet is responsible for getting us into an illegal war through deception, has more of his croonies and compatriots in PRISON for illegal behavior than any other administration in US history, has dished out BILLION DOLLAR no bid contracts to his "friends" in New Orleans and Iraq and the list goes on and on at the destruction and devastation this leadership( or lack of it) has caused, He committed the WORST foreign policy errors in the history of our country! He should be tried for war crimes and impeached along with all his croonies and the rest of his bible thumping Christian agenda pushing administration. We have lost more individual right to privacy due to this adminitration than ever before. Our freedoms are being grosly compromised under the guise of "patriotism" He is doing his level best to confuse Church and State which flies in the face of our Constitution. That is why our country is "going down the tubes" it has nothing to do with "liberals" how can you blame "liberals" when Conservatives are in charge? That is a joke. It just goes to show how completely unable fundamentalist right wingers are at looking at their OWN lies and bad behaviors and criminal actions. Blaming "liberals" is stupid at best since "Liberals" are not running the White House in case you haven't noticed.

the bible waving peudo christian republican agenda you espouse is doing our country in. This "war on terror" has INCREASED terrorism across the world. The "axis of evil" is the current administration, and GW is the biggest cog in the evil wheel.

Please keep your religious and political rantings on the "other" board, this is not the place for it. I responded here because you posted it here, but this type of thing does not belong here, this is for HEP C information and health discussion not your pulpit or soap box.
