Living with hepatitis C

[natacha_avomo1990]

I am a college student. Hepatitis C affect my studying and focusing habit. I find myself sleeping without knowing when I am studying or I cannot think straight. And the migraines make it unbearable for me to focus. so, what I am suppose to do.

Are you drinking enough water?  I found during tx, whenever I was getting dehydrated, I'd get a major headache.

It's tough being in school while tx'ing.  I tok a light load....only 8 hrs a semester and that helped alot.

My daughter is in college also and is planning on saving up some electives or online classses to take while txing.


Good luck to you =)

i know it is troublesome when you are trying to do something good in your life but really ask your dr. what you can do but the headaches vision problems other etc.. goes with the tx. you learn to deal with it, cause the tx is very important! or maybe put your ed.on hold till tx is over .it is a very hard choice you have to make,but i pray you will be able to do both!!!! so good luck to you----rockin516

I agree,  treatment is successful for many of us.  It was for me.  I agree a plan is a good idea.

"so, what I am suppose to do"

You are suppose to see a doctor and see about treating. Or at least get a plan intact for the future, i.e. wait for new drugs coming out, etc.
Best of luck
