Last shot

I just took my last shot this morning.  When I put the needle in the sharp container and pressed the permanent seal - the sound of that click was music to my ears! Each time I treated, I felt as if some piece of me was permanently removed.  This time was the hardest for me; I don't know if it is age, Telaprevir or both.

I hope to spend some time in a quiet place, hiking and just relaxing for a week.  Then - who knows - it's time to get a life!

Thanks you all for the support.  It certainly has made life much easier for me to have all of you to talk to when things get tough as they do for all of us.

Susan, Dana: I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you as well.  I wish you both the best and I will stay in touch.  My drive home was only an hour, so it wasn't too bad.  I didn't realize people drove so far.  Next time we have to pick a place more centrally located.

Eric,
Congratulations! It has been some trying times over the past year especially in the combo treatment at the beginning of TX for you but now it is time to rest before moving forward in a new direction. Stay well!

Cruel, believe or not hr was right you do feel the smallest amount of interferon. Did my last shot Friday also and felt it Saturday but it had dissipated by Sunday morning. Also congrats! on the finish line as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and your lovely wife, today at our lunch.  I do so hope that you have a long lasting SVR, you deserve it!   I had a long drive myself.  We had to stop and stretch a few times and I didn't get home from our trip and dropping off my friend until almost 7:30.  I was pretty wiped out and I'm not even treating right now.   If I find out anything on my April 1st appt., that looks like will be coming up for me in the near future, I'll probably put up a post on Medhelp, so if you ever feel like lurking, maybe you'll see what I found out.  I do hope you'll post on here when you get your good news about being SVR in 3 mon. (or 6), whichever you have for your first post viral load.
