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.
and probably the last one by the way the doc's office is saying, they are going to do one last blood draw on monday with this medicine and then discuss other tx options with me. That tell's me the medicine didn't work like it suppose too. They want me at 0 by monday. I am praying.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Even if you are told to stop tx, you need to keep in mind that you did help your live a bit by helping in the fight against the virus.
Also, because you know you have the virus, you can continue to improve on living a liver friendly lifestyle until decisions are made for you to do tx again, if you decide to do tx again.
While you may be a slow or non responder, I am a relapser. I don't feel too bad because I don't have any liver damage, and I have cleaned up my life to be kinder to my liver, so I can wait for tx.
What about you? If you have no liver damage, or very little, you have time to wait for whatever new tx comes out. Ask your dr about it when you discuss your current tx status.
just curious where your headed with the pics. can't go back to much further without being in the womb.
I just did my 6th shot, so I am paying close attention to how things go for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
