Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
While checking out the features of the website here I discovered that I have received eleven hugs! Wow! So...here is a giant group hug back. I very much appreciate the encouragment and support I have received from you all.
It seems, as far as my treatment goes, that my primary side-effect is a splitting headache. I am so thankful that I don't have to deal with anymore than that.
God bless,
Rob

Good point Chris, key word "temporary" - its all temporary. Remind me later if I need it?
If you are already prone to headaches, absolutely tell your doctor so that he might give you a prescription for bad headaches that pop up during treatment.
Not everyone gets headaches but, if a person is already prone to headaches, they will probably get them on treatment.
I can't believe nobody mentioned the water!
Seriously, you are NOT drinking enough water. Whenever I felt a headache coming on, I just drank more water and it went away.
I used to get wicked migraines before tx and they stopped while on tx. Oddly, they have not come back either.
Water is MANDATORY to flush the toxins and all that tx crap out of your body! Drink gallons and gallons of it!
And also learn to pace yourself. As well as you may THINK you feel, you just can't do as much as you could before tx, so rest when you feel you need to and be kind to yourself.
|Listen closely to your body because it talks to yu all the time.
