Pre Tx Brain Fog/sides?

[azgrl]

I haven't started tx yet however will as soon as my gallbladder is out and I have recovered.  I have been reading this site since my diagnosis in September 05.  One of the common tx sides is "brain fog"  I was wondering if anyone experienced this prior to tx?  I have always prided myself on how organized I was in my mind and my memory however slowly my memory is getting worse and worse over the past year.  I will ask my husband a question and he'll say I've already asked him 3 or 4 times in the last hour...but I don't remember asking him.  Thankfully he is a very patient person.  I don't even want to think what I will be like on tx.  The other things I have experienced were fatigue and urq.  I'm assuming these are related to the hepc with the exception of the urq since we found out that was the gallbladder not the liver.

Anyway just curious if anyone else experience these. And no I don't think it's old age....as I will never be old!!  : )

Tues Night Funnies

An 80 year old woman was arrested for shop lifting.  When she went before the judge he asked her, "What did you steal?"
  She replied:  a can of peaches.
  
  The judge asked her why she had stolen them and she replied that she was hungry.
  
  The judge then asked her how many peaches were in the can.  She replied 6.
  
  The judge then said, "I will give you 6 days in jail."
  
  Before the judge could actually pronounce the punishment the woman's husband spoke up and asked the judge if he could say something.
  
He said, "What is it?"
  
  The husband said "She also stole a can of peas."

<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15972867&query_hl=1&itool=pubmed_DocSum">This study</a> (which is often referred to in here as the Italian study) found that there was  essentially no penalty for truncating geno 2 & 3 treatments to 12 weeks when 4 week RVR was achieved. The full study is available for about 10 bucks at the New England Journal of Medicine site. I think this study was based on peg-intron and 800 mg of riba). Another study using pegasys got similar results based on 16 weeks of TX for genos 2 & 3.

anything you can use on skin to stop discoloration?  I have had so many blood draws, and they always use the same vein (I have twisted veins) and the site is all yellow, I look like a junkie...Also, on my eyelids, it's getting worse, any herb or combo creme you know of that can help any of this?
