Dec. '02 I had severe fatigue. Went to doc. lab work showed hep c
I also had joint pain.
Went to GI in feb '03
v/l 10 million
had biopsy stage 3 grade 2
started tx 3/28/03 peg-intron and rebetol
sides were very bad, I had every side except mouth sores. at week 12 I was undetectabe also after week 48.
Meds were procrit, effexor, ativan, ambiem, vioxx
I had 2 major breakdowns where I just wanted to quit.
But I stuck it out. I still get very teary eyed when I talk about it. Still taking effexor, vioxx and have switched from ambien to trazodone, and take the ativan only when needed.
I am seeing a Rhematologist for fibromyalgia, and will be seeing a dermatologist in a couple of weeks for a skin problem.
My PCP is a D.O. and is great.
While on tx, I did not have much of a appetite. Ate alot of oatmeal, macaroni, chicken. I had no desire for red meat. Drank tons of water, and alittle green tea.
I mainly just listened to my body and let it tell me when to rest.
