Suboxone and HepC treatment

[Pauly Boy]

I've been trying to reach out to a fellow poster called NYGIRL because we have the same thing in common. I'm trying to decide to start TX with Pegassis and also I take Suboxone. I have not been able to speak with one person who has done this and I heard you have so, please e-mail me I need some help with this.

Thank You

Hi Mr. Beagle.  I did drag myself in for bloodwork last week.  I went on Thursday, and don't expect the results of my PCR until a week from Thursday.  Also, my "care manager" has been out of town and will be until tomorrow so I still don't have the results of my other tests (cbc, thyroid etc.)  Can't wait to get the info though.  I think my rbc are very low, we shall see.  
When did you end up getting your PCR?  How long do you have to wait for results?  Keep me posted.  I am actually feeling better today than I have in WEEKS if not MONTHS, so I am hoping to be around here posting today :)

Everyone be well today!  I have found that if I don't leave my house then at least the riba rage is contained :) lol

Hope you've been feeling well and things have settle down for you. Dale

It does seem to run in waves (riba rage).

However, it's true the full moon affects emotions.  The moon controls the waters of the earth, the tide etc. Because the moon controls water and the human body in part water, it controls emotions more so durning a full moon. This is where the saying  "It must be a full moon" when people act crazy.  It has also been shown that more crimes of passion, murders and assults happens durning a full moon then any other time of the month.

Hope we all have a better day and week ahead.

lil: It's the meds. People are just as stupid and irritating as they were before tx. The meds just help you identify those people/moments/things and give you the opportunity to fester, boil and explode.  Those times are meant to withdraw yourself and stay away from sharp objects. The difference now is that you are on powerful meds and fighting a tough disease - and you know that.  We have a responsibility to recognize the situations and conditions and do our best to make our cooler heads prevail. It's another challenge of tx that you can also achieve. Whatever else, be kindest to those closest and who support you in these tough times.  Good luck and good rest.
Algernon: great practice with the rocks and woks.

I'm sorry you feel like your invisible.  At times I get that feeling too, but it passes.

As far as the anger - frustration - etc level.  Early on in TX my doc tried to get me to take ad's.  I finally said yes but they made me so much more nauseaus than I was I quit.

Fast forward - I wanted to try a different sleeping pill than Ambien cause it's so expensive and my ins prescrip plan has run out.  I heard activan worked and was much cheaper.  Doc gave me a script for it.

Got Lorazepam (generic for activan) did not work for sleep at all.  BUT I found it was great for those times I feel angry, frustrating, like I want to strangle the cr##p out of my boss or husband.  It's kinda like a valium and I got to tell you it has made a wonderful difference in my life.  

I haven't gotten into a screaming match with my boss for over a month now.  When I feel myself start to argue with my husband I pop that little guy and in about 30 mins life is great again.  (relatively speaking).

Can you be more specific about the stupid idiots you work with?  Sometimes venting about specifics is quite helpful.
