Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

This wasa bad tx this week! Dead tired, running fever, chills just alltogether sucked! Made it to work though and that is one of my goals to not miss work or loose all of my life for this damn virus! Fever been up and down all day. Can't wait to be DONE with this crap! I do believe the closer you are to the finish the worse it seems. Probably total saturation!
Anyway just venting. Usually try to stay upbeat but not today!
Think I will go home and pull thecovers over my head unless im sweating , Covers if freezing oh forget ityou knowwhat i mean! Thanks for listening. Love you all and keeping you in my prayers!

Bill I get it and our txs sucks. Sorry you had a rough one. I was feeling the Interferon blues Saturday big time myself. Starting to slowly come out of it.

Hope you start turning the corner soon!

Oh yeah, FU HCV!

Bill I really think its a combo of work and treatment.You need to slow down a little and take care of yourself.Your body needs rest.

Ah Bill. I'm sorry you're feeling so lousy. Like Mike said, take it easy. YOU'RE ALLOWED. And if you have to miss a little work, so be it, most of us have. It's pretty amazing you haven't missed any so far. Only 5 wks to go??? Fantastic! hang in there friend.

I worked for 32 years straight. I don't feel a bit guilty taking some time off.

Treatment Blows.
It did seem to get worse for me during the last of it. I can tell you now, 3 weeks after tx. that it's getting better every day. Keep in mind the light at the end of the tunnel! And vent on!

Bill,

Sorry you're having a tough patch in your tx. Hang in there.

Sometimes you just gotta push through it, other times your body NEEDS the rest. Don't be afraid to take it easy when necessary, it's all part of the deal.

Bill.......really sorry to hear this:(:( But please be careful ..........just cause ya have Hep C and are on treatment, doesn't mean EVERYTHING is related to treatment.....................ya might have picked up a bug:(:(

Take care of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill, totally feel ya. I worked the entire time I was going through treatment and even did some OT. It helped me feel like I had a normal routine and tried to keep things as regular as possible. However, definitely make sure you sleep/rest as much as you can - make sure to listen to really listen to your body.

Good luck with treatment and take care.

I admire people who still work while on TX,I tried and sucked at it..But I believe it is better for the mind if it is pysically possible,everyone is different,just be careful I caught very bad infections at work while on treatment.

keep the immune system up and I hope things get better soon.

Best wishes
Les
