You're almost done!
Your statement about intensity and anger on treatment resonated with me. Personally, the emotional rollercoaster of the the interferon/ribavirin was the biggest challenge of treatment.
Congrats, and on to SVR!
I am always so amazed, when I hear about people who have treated for 48 wks, and mangaged to keep their careers going, wow. You have completed an incredible feat!
The anxiety I experienced while waiting for my 3 month post vl test
was very hard. On my way to pick up the results, I experienced my first anxiety attack: I was driving, and it became very difficult for me to breath, and I wondered even, if I might be having a heart attack.
Good luck with your new job, I know you can do it! The irritability can be managed, dont forget to pamper yourself, you deserve it~
Congrats to you for finishing the long and grueling 48 wks. I know how you feel as you come to the final week - it will be a huge relief knowing you're done. It sounds like this project is coming at a good time. At the beginning of my tx, my mind was mush and I had trouble with complicated tasks and meetings. Hopefully the mental fog will continue to fade away allowing your analytical skills to push into high gear. It may take some additional time and energy, but you'll do fine. It will actually be good to allow you to focus on this as you recover. Wish you the best as you get back to normal and hope to see your SVR post soon.
