I'm someone else
The longer you stay on this tx, the sicker you get.
Before this tx, I was very active, I always loved walking and was walking regularly, especially when I have problems that needs clear mind to be solved. Walking was also my Natural Anti Depressant. But now... I'm really tired, I'm still able to walk, but I feel very tired once I reach home, or the next day. If was smart enough and insisted on doing the genotype test and it came GT 2 or 3, I could've finished treatment 3 weeks ago. Stupid Insurance :(

Hi Pharaoh,
its true - some people get sicker the longer they are on Tx - I was one of those who did 48 wks - I learnt a lot about pacing myself carefully - there was always payback if I over exerted myself - even vigourous drying myself with a towel had consequences mid treatment around 6-7 months - I was mad as a cut snake in the head. You are young though so you have that on your side so you tend to bounce back quicker - I did tx 3 years ago at 59 which was a last ditch effort on my part becasue sucess decreases after 60. Take care and adjust exercise accoringly - I used to walk as well but as the tx went on I became more aneamic and the lack of red cells carrying oxygen around my body was very noticeable - I had to take a lot of rests along the way - cheers

hi Pharaoh
Keep walking, keep posting, keep busy with distractions, pace yourself, treat yourself to something nice when you can, visit a friend and see a movie or listen to music. I have been keeping really busy lately and it\'s been good as I pulled back initially from many things as is easy to do. I had to fight to get back my activity. I thought that I better do it while I can. It\'s all way too long of a tx course as I post often and that part is very archaic undoubtedly. Hang in there. Was going to send you a msg but noticed that you journaled. Thought I\'d post here for you instead. Keep up the hard challenge Pharaoh. I\'m proud of you. This will be over eventually so continue to hang in there.
Thanks, Bill and Ernie
I\'ll try to stay as long as I can on this tx
I\'ll be really busy next week at college and hopefully this will help me.
Thanks again.
