" heres a newsflash for you kello. tx is a bitch. talk to your md about severe depression. it can be dangerous. i would also suggest removing weapons and ammo from your home. moods are unpredictable and your very sanity is under attack. "

" Capn is right. Get on an antid, are they checking your blood counts? When they are off, you are off. And tx is real ruff on some of us, more than others.
Try to remember - its temporary, its all temporary.
You have choices. If its too much, you can stop tx. If you can keep your eye on the light, you may be able to get through this. If you stop, there is not much chance at all that you will beat the virus. Depending on your geno type & liver stage, it may not make much difference.
Hugs to you & your wife. "

" Hi Goose.
Yeah, do whatever works.
Tell your wife to get on DS too. There's support for supporters, too.
DO tell your doc about your sides. My doc asks me every time, "Do you have a cough?.... take claritin." "Do you itch? I can get you a script for Kenalog." "Can't sleep? How about an Ambien Rx?" " Oh, you feel depressed? How about Lexapro.'

If your doc isn't asking those questions, you need to ask him WHY??? "
