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.
Carried on my normal day .. lol
He ranted and went on and on about how he would be alone in the car driving, etc. until my "people pleaser" kicked in and I went along.
He never really understood what I was going thru and never will. I love him, he means well - but he hates doctors and blood and anything medical.
Turns out a friend of ours that was a widow at age 40 drove all alone in her car by herself.....I told Hubby (now you couldn't do that?)......There was tons of drinking afterwards and that was hard.
I didn't get much sleep the night before, but I was more angry at him and I looked like crap as i was sweating so much.
I think I was sweating from the Riba, not sure.
Now this just turned into a rant - sorry, guess I needed to get that off my chest. I never could get Hubby to understand this treatment was BETTER for me.....He just could not get INTERFEURON off his mind when I went thru that.
Still together, but at times it can be trying.....You can really do anything - but I would choose to do what I wanted to do!!
The 2nd tx, went about my daily business.
Will do the same when I start the 3rd tx.
. Because I have been a member here for years but only this summer finally did my tx with Sovaldi and Riba...I am sure that played into my dread.
meaning I had read for years about "those other" older treatments and was just praying it would not be like that.
It was not like that . I won't lie, it was not easy either but that does not mean other people will have same issues as me.
I am on so many other meds , and maybe that played a role in how I felt on tx.
I am so glad I did it.
cheers.
