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.

Sorry you feel crappy. What is causing your pain? Are you hcv+, are you on treatment for hcv? Do you have other medical issues?
The stress of pain- I have dealt with it by exercising, and for really bad pain I use over the counter pain relievers. Getting out of my own head helps. Helping someone else, social interaction, reading of others with problems far worse than mine.
Hope you feel better soon. Pain comes back. I just accept it as part of life, part of illness, part of aging.

When I was treating for HCV I just got pissed at it and decided it would not win! Did as much as I could and pushed myself as hard as I could. I talked to the folks here and I prayed.

That is how I made it through 48 weeks of triple tx.
Prayers!

Hang in there Carlee - the end result will be worth it....

I almost stopped treatment at week 16 when I was still detected, but my Doc asked me to please do one more viral load test and I am sure
I got help from above or I would have stopped.

I did 24 weeks and don't know how, but I finished and you can do it too. I took Advil as for me that helped the most - not sure if this is advised or not.

There is pain FOR REAL....Listen to Trish...

I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time. I have osteoarthritis so take Celebrex for pain and temazapam for sleeping. Not sure how I could live without it. Also taking an antidepressant for depression and anxiety - they don't eliminate it but certainly help. I think I am a permanent basketcase LOL.

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well.

I take Celebrex for pain (osteoarthritis), temazapam (Resoril) for sleeping and an anti-depressant. And I am still a basketcase LOL.
