Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
There is a lot of religious significance to the number 40.
Jesus walked in the dessert for 40 days
Lent consists of 40 days
Jesus remained on earth for 40 days after the resurrection
In the Torah, we see the number 40 again
It rained for 40 days and 40 nights
Moses was with God for 40 days
Mohammed was 40 when Gabriel appeared to him
Different cultures from Russian to Filipinos believe the spirit remains on the earth as a ghost for 40 days after passing.
Well, today I have 40 days left. I don't know what all this means, but I'm sure as hell glad it's not 41!

I still have about 8 months left, if they stick to the original course. I hope they will knock it down since I was undie at week 8...even a day less would be welcomed! :)
Hope your next 40 + days are good for you:):):)
I want some BBQ.
39 not to far....can u see the end?
Stay strong!!!!
Yes go muffing like Becky said. Great.
Time picks up again MrOSO in the 2 - 3 week area. It seems like a long journey from here. Tx days are so damn slow. Every time you put your head down on the pillow though it's one day less when you wake up (bathroom trips excluded).
I just received my last shipment of Interferon last week. It would be my last shipment of Riba too, but I accidentally threw some away, so I'll be short about 50 pills and have to order another months supply. Kinda pisses me off because they won't give me less than 180 of them, and the rest will most likely go unused, even if I give them to my doctor.
I take it that freaked out look on your avie face is one of glee, not practicing to scare little children...?
Try calling the manufacturer of riba & whining about throwing the pills away & could they PLEASE just ship you fifty pills.... the ins co can't do it but mfr can. I did it with only needing 2 shots of peg, because I had had to skip 2 shots during tx when hgb was so bad. The peg is a lot more expensive tho. My ins only covered 50% of costs.
I'm all for capitalism but that is fucked up.
And yes the look on my avie's face is about how I feel right now. Pretty freaked out, but I know the end will eventually come, hence the smile.
But little kids still see me as a big goofy guy, I don't scare them much.
