i try much to walk and take excercise but i cant walk more due to weakness caused by interferon and dirrahea. i have noticed that when dirrahea occured i feel very weak and when stool is normal i feel better. My dirrhea is not common dirrahoea. it is tension related IBS. i mean brain gut disfunction. im totaly helpless. and worried about my arms. I have job of computer operator and my mostly work is typing related. i m facing difficulties in typing and job is at risk. If this numbness remain permanant then i will be ruined. Living with hcv is better than sensless and numbed arms.

don't really know about the numb arms.. have you been doing your regular exercises during tx?  exercise is super important.  diarrhea happens to me too, just make sure you eat at least one yogurt everyday.  tx turned me lactose intolerant, so i drink soy instead of milk.

relax
