Feeling I will never feel well again

I must say a previous post about never recovering from the hep C treatment was very depressing.  I already feel the person before tx is slowly disappearing. Very sad today after reading post.

Without a doubt it’s a scary thought; no one wants to get ‘stuck’ like this. I’m not sure which thread you’re referring to, and whoever that was, I sincerely feel sorry for them. The vast majority of us recover from treatment pretty quickly; I felt remarkably better after 10 days or so, and nearly 100% within a month or tow. I did have to deal with some significant depression after therapy that didn’t present while on the drugs; only afterwards.

Judy, if you start getting um… funky thoughts, call your doctor, okay? And you’re more than welcome to reach out to me or anyone else in here too, got it? This stuff can affect brain chemicals and some of us get bad feelings from it. Be sure to reach out if it starts to get to you.

Take really good care of yourself—
