Yeah, I'm amazed at how widespread Hep C is and how much some people have been through trying to deal with it. My 6 month 'ordeal', which came close to unbearable at times, seems insignificant with what others have had to cope with. Being alone definitely compounds the problems, I wish I had found this site 7 months ago. Misery loves company!
All the best, I hope you get it first time round,
Murari.
I hear you I don't ever want to see another syringe of interferon or " blue bomb" in my life. And hope I attain SVR so I don't. Good luck at the Doc. I feel isolated too, and the forum helps tremendously with that.
Best,
James
slam it again right away!!!
OMG. Not really an option financially, and I really don't want to go back to the tiredness, crankiness and generally not feeling well for a while. I'm just enjoying feeling normal again after 6 months.
I guess first thing is to get to a doctor and see what he suggests.
Thanks for the link James, as you say, type 3s don't seem to benefit as much as 1s.

Hi,
There are many people here who know far more than I. But if it were me I would base my decision on the condition of my liver. I'm not sure about telaprevir and geno 3 from what I've read http://www.hivandhepatitis.com/2010_conference/easl/docs/0514_2010_b.html it doesn't do much for G3's. It maybe best to slam it again right away, I read some where this leads to a better chance of SVR.
Best wishes,
James
