New Posts for Wednesday - All Nice Posts Welcome

I found out that this was working and the counter reset after something happened to our board earlier today.

I wanted to make sure we got at least a good thread going in here!

Welcome back guys...you know I love almost each and every single one of you with all my heart.

Thanks for the WONDERFUL works you do in here. Supporting, educating, nursing hurt feelings and being such wonderful PEOPLE.  You provide such great fellowship during such a tough time that I am ETERNALLY greatful to you all.

Good luck w/tx - I'm a 1A on infergen (daily shot) and Riba (1000 - 4 pills per day)  My VL was 34 million back when I started on 9/1/05.  I'm had hep C for 20 years and am a 39 yr old female.  I'm more then happy to report that the virus is now undetected (YEAH!!) I plan on staying on tx for the whole bloody 48 weeks just to make sure I kick it in the @##.  I find the side effects to be tough, its gotten a bit better but I don't remember being this tired from the last time.  Although I only did a weekly shot back then.  Get alot of rest, drink TONS of water and have all your family & friends ready to help you help.  Take the help and homemade soup - you'll need it.

I'm signed up for 48 weeks too. Currently heading to week 16 shot.

I tell you you will find this all ok.  You will be surprised. AFter the few couple weeks you will be feeling much better - that is IF you even have any side effects at all to start.  A LOT of people dont!

It's going by FAST for me. I never thought I would say that!

Just watch out really carefully for the anemia otherwise all will be fine. And if that anemia SHOULD come - make sure in advance your doctor is going to prescribe meds for it - once you get them into you ... you will see that you can make it through the anemia and onwards.

Best of luck Debby

Good morning,

I had the same sides yous had, and will do #2 shot Sunday. How long is your ride, 24 or 48 weeks?  This a great place, with people who really care and are so helpful.

Here's to SVR in 2006!
