While I was at work I briefly skimmed over an article in AARP about Naomi Judd. I think I read that she said that she is in remission but will never be totally rid of the virus. Is this the way it is?

can't imagine doubledosing.  My first bad side effect has been my hands.  It hurts badly to type and move them.  My joints are just aching. I am also exhausted (which had just started to get better from the acute phase of the hcv about two days before I started my first dose) have a headache and a low grade fever.  Its all good though.  At least I'm finally on the tx!

Sometimes people's styles are just different and there are some people who just aren't going to work as well together due to belief systems or whathaveyou.  Sometimes its better for those people cool off from each other a little.  I'm not always the easiest person to get along with and I'm aware of that.  I'm also very opinionated and I don't beat around the bush about what I think and a lot of people may not like that.  I'm aware of that.  If there are people who therefore want nothing to do with me, I understand.  

I do care about others, and you and I share the same faith.  I don't necessarily know if I'll clear but I always trust there's a way to work with whatever happens.  When bad things happen to me, I try to keep a sense of humor about what's happening to me, even if its kind of a dark, sick humor.  

I'm pretty certain I'm going to have difficulty with tx, since I already feel bad.  And I know it will probably get worse than this.  I appreciate the information people have given me here, especially as pertains to anemia, my tests, etc.  And in the end, I just hope and pray that everyone here has the best outcome possible.

look, I tried to be civil in the beginning of this thread up till the end  (people can judge for themselves) you didn't...you came off as very condescending to people who made accounts of their experiences with these things.....to me you are projecting. I have no idea about veiled control freak accusations, that's in your head. I have no idea what youre talking about relative to an alcohol thread either. Other people have debated you and pointed these things out to you, yet I get the recriminations for these things. I must of really rubbed you the wrong way, and for that I'm sorry.

I have been waaay too argumentative (particularly when the arguments get circular and reach dead ends) in this thread, maybe because I'm nervous about certain things, I own that, perhaps you will too.

I really just try to debate points that I disagree with, and not get sarcastic or personal. They are just words on a discussion group post, people really don't know me here (unless I know them offline) and I really don't *know* anyone here either.

I've seen many members get off to a bad start with arguments getting too personal, only to be great friends later on in the proceedings. Or some people just choose to ignore each other for the good of the board. I truly wish you well in your treatment, and give you the last word on this if you want, I too am tired of this debate.

Just read your comment, "one smart cookie" Thank you.

Not that I'm not always "trying" to understand the scientific data and learning about this disease every day...it's become my hobby, you might say...
In my case with double dosing both peg and riba...it's a long shot for me....but...God is Sovereign...and I'm doing what I can.
Hope you have a nice day.

Just a suggestion: As you said: "I don't know enough about the history of this board" You are just beginning tx. I get the sense that you are struggling and have some resentments....I think it might be a good idea to read up, browse the archives..and get a better understanding of this forum. I know that in my case...it has been a lifesaver. Without many of these people who have reached out to me with either a phone call...riba delivered to me from a fellow hepper, when I had problems wth insurance, advice about PCR's..etc..etc.. I could not imagine having to go through this w/o the emotional/medical/comraderie/ support and care of the people here. As I have said from the beginning..this place has been a gift from God for me. Again, you just started tx...try not to burn bridges...when you (may) really need help w/ sx or need to discuss something...the beauty of this place is that someone is always here. 4C...is one of those people...who has been very supportive to many, if not all new comers and has also added alot of valuable information....
I hope you sail thru tx....I'm not...but....that doesn't stop me from having faith. That's really what most of this is about..for me. data vs.my faith.  Not faith in medical dr.s or alternative healers, but in my God of whom I know as Jesus Christ.  
Faith and Hope...that's what is gonna get me through this.
Sincerely
Yvonne

Trust me, you still come across as a pretty smart cookie.  As for me, two days on riba and I'm already in a fog.  I was hoping it would take a lot longer than that.  I couldn't find my purse in my cart last night when my girlfriend took me to the store.  She said, what is WRONG with you?  I gave her my most scathing look and said, You did NOT just ask me that.  She said, oh yeah.  Sorry.
