itching!
About Me: Female, Newport Beach - CA, member since Jul 2008
Hi Everyone...nice to know there's a lot of us in it together.  I was dx with Hep C genotype 1b in December 2007..  It appears I contracted the virus almost 30 years ago as a healthcare worker - too bad we didn't know about Hep C then, and had no needle or blood handlin ... [More] g safety protocols like we do since the early 90's. After the biobsy, scans, and a plethora of lab work, I began treatment on Peg-Interferon and Ribaviran on April 3.  I am really only in the early stages of liver damage, and am getting an early viral response (EVR)to treatment.  Viral load went down from 4 million to 9,600 last month, and I've just finished month three of treatment.  Guess we're going for the long haul.  I keep a positive attitude, and keep smiling, no matter how I feel.  I wake up every morning (when I can sleep), look down and say, "ten fingers, ten toes, big smile, let's go!"  I put that smile on my face, and start my day...no matter how I feel.  Seems to help.  I wish everyone all the best, and know so many care about you.
