Hi djharg,
i don't understand the time delay at all. i always had my results in 3-4 days. maybe there is a big backlog there or they just don't consider people with hepc a big priority. any how it sucks.

it is good for you to be mad about this let it out. do you have a punching bag a or anything to wale on? sometimes it's good to physically do something to relieve stress.

you have to get it out of your system somehow. you have to long to wait to just sit there and stew over this.

i wish i could help you more,
joe

Sorry Djharg. Maybe try to trust that it is all going to work for the good. Waiting is painful, we run all the worst tapes through our heads. What can you do to distract yourself meanwhile?

Don't stress out over something you have no control on. The results are going to be what there going to be . Is knowing this very moment going to change anything? Relax, relax, reeeelax, take a deep breath and just relax....

unfortunately my friend waiting is all that we seem to do and on tx, patience is not one of our best virtues, but hang in there. everything comes to he who waits:) all will be revealed soon. besides, no news is good news. all the time your docs are not calling you in to see them before your allotted appt time they are not worried about you. no news is good news. so try to chill and put the results outa your head for now if you can. theres nothing you can do to hurry them up so why stress??
stay strong my friend, keep positive and smile.
we're here for you
