For those who are just starting on tx or those that are struggling, hang in there you anniversary will be here too. Dont quit!!.....unless your Dr tells you to!!

Wow Larry. Just the read I needed. Very encouraging. So very very very happy that you made it.....all the way!

I think I felt better right away because I was very proud of the fact that I had actually made the 24 wks. I did not physically feel better right away, but I didnt care. Tx was not real easy and I like a lot of people wrestled with how long I could go on with it. I had promised myself, my wife and many others, I would be able to do it as this was my second try. Within about 2 weeks post I thought I could start to carry on like I did before tx....lol. My wife and I went for a walk around a lake by our house, and I got so sore I could hardly sit down. I felt like a lion, but tx had made me a lamb...hah. So I felt good within a couple weeks, but had to build my stamina. As my blood returned to normal, and the meds wore off, all in all it was 4 months before I returned to work. Not by choice!! I work construction and it was winter. I could have gone back sooner, but the economy... I can tell you for sure that I have absolutely no side effects now!!!! And I have been weight training for 7 weeks, and am in as good physical condition as I have been at any point in my life, probably better without hep. I am very happy I hung in there with tx, and you will be too!!

Good Luck, and God Bless!!

Thanks everybody!! I feel like I owe so many people for so much. Thanks for all the support. Tx is not easy as we all know, but it can be done, and it sure helped me to find all of you. I have developed such a habit of checking this site...hah. I pray I can help somebody else along the way.

God Bless,
