I just wanted to say hello to everyone.

I have been off of TX since April 13th. I feel better everyday. Still a little tired but my hair stopped falling out and is actually trying to grow back. lol

If you are going through Tx, don't give up. There is life after TX and it is a good one.

Best wishes to all.

Very good news indeed. I am almost done with 48 weeks of hell, and I am so looking forward to feeling better.

I am forcing myself to start exercising, VERY SLOWLY. Yesterday I rode my bike for about 15 minutes of easy pedaling around the neighborhood, I was exhausted.

Today I lifted very light weights for 15 minutes. I feel completely zonked right now, LOL.

But I refuse to let this virus OR this treatment do me in. Not today.

Great news.... sounds like you are bouncing back quickly..... I ended june 3 and am also feeling better each day.... and I think my hair stopped falling out, though at 1/2 inch long its hard to tell... it doesn't seem to be growing but at 90 degrees out, thats just fine with me. Yeah for life post tx

Glad to hear your doing better .Keep up the fight. Thanks for the encouragement I am on week 2.

Glad you're feeling better and better! And your improvement should continue. And, yes, the hair does come back. I finished 48 weeks treatment with interferon and riba (not triple) in Aug 2009 with really no hair to speak of left and now it's shoulder-length (where I choose to keep it) and very thick. Life IS GOOD after treatment...that is true. :)

Glad to hear that your hair is "trying" to grow back and that you're feeling better. Yeah it's good to be off tx for sure regardless of outcome. Eternal SVR to you.
