Water based Nail Polish for those pinkies...

[Forseegood]

As trite as this seems, nail polishes and removers have a lot of chemicals that  probably aren't good for people with compromised immune systems...this company has water and plant based products in nice colors if anyone is interested...

Hi. How are you , I  know my bx. was fairly easy. I am lucky enough not to have to work. What type of work do yiu do? I am also lucky not to have any real sx. some irritibility . I have been on tx. for 10wks. am a geno2 but have had this **** for 25yrs.  I just take it one day at a time. I will say I read this forum last fall was going to do tx. then got concerned with sx. had bx. & decided I should just get it over with& tx. I will say I am  one of the few here that have not had any real problems. I don't post much but I do read daily. I feel so sad for everyone that has a hard time on tx. But I am beginning to feel better & I still have a ways to go. Well take care, hopefully you will manage just fine. Keep in touch.  Karen

wonder why so many docs are clueless about symptoms coming from the hep...oh well...

I noticed your post.  It'll be ok.  Just get it done, so you can know once and for all where you stand with the damage of your liver if any.
next is the waiting game of the results.  I swear this is the worst in the beginning, but there will be more of that to come and you'll get used to it ,so relax.  One step at a time.
Get back to us and let us know.

Well how is everyone? Got up so early today...anticipation of Monday morning biopsy. Im not trembling anymore...Im just unfortunatley in an angry mode now. Just dont know what Im going to do if I cant work and start therapy. How are all you people living without working.?? My mind is so cluttered with thoughts, fears and the fear of the unknown.
Well hope you all have a good day , talk to you later.

Very interesting.
another thing that had crossed my mind,in the last 5 years just never looked into it.  Just always thought I was getting old,but I'm learning that it most likely was a sx of HCV.

Hepatitis C Virus Might Induce Fibromyalgia

A Portland Oregon study suggests hepatitis C may trigger fibromyalgia. The study is the first to show a link between the two illnesses.

Fibromyalgia often arises after a traumatic event or an illness. Several infections have previously been proposed as potential inciters of fibromyalgia, including Lyme disease and the human herpes virus-6.
