hartnik,
Don't be afraid of the treatment, although it may be difficult. Be afraid of the disease. Take a new attitude. Get defensive. Get pi--ed off. Fight the damn thing. DO NOT LET IT WIN!

Re: Starting New Hep C Treatment (Scared)

Hi Hartnik: I'm a newbie too. But not to Hep C. My doc wants me to do this treatment, but in Canada, I live in B.C., it's still pretty new. I have seen some patients taking their ordeal to YouTube sorta like a vivual journal, and I have to say in all honesty the all looked like they hadn't slept since they began. You should check it out.
As for you tho, your post was make in Oct., how are you fairing right now? I hope you are really doing well. I'll await for your reply before I go further. So take care of yourself and I hope to hear from you soon.

dont be scared hun what stage do you have and i know this post was a while ago how are you holding up so far
i have been in remission for 2 years now i went through the interfiron treatments for a year i was very sick but the end result is worth it when your levels are back to normal that is great that your husband is so helpful just remember eat even if you are not hungry and lots and lots of water

HI! I started new treatment Oct.3 rd and it's going GREAT!!My Viral load before treatment (in July) was 6.6 million. 60 days after beginning and only 30 days after adding the Victrelis, my load was down to 31,000. Next month was 1,200, this month was 200. We're hoping to be undetectable by my next appt. on Jan 30th. I still have to stay on treatment until about August. I've had this for 39 years and have failed treatment 3 times before. This time's been different, my last treatmet was 7 years ago. I'm older now and treatment is a little tougher. I've gotten a light rash on my face (no big deal) Had to transfuse 4 pints of blood in December, but I'm on a red blood cell boostr and white booster. They also cut back my Riboviran and peg-intron a bit. My white count is normal and the red is raising but not as quickly. My advice to myself is "stay the course, I want to dance at my grandkids' weddings!" I'm also trying to stay off the tranplant list as it opens a whole new can of worms. Kiss your husband and kiss your kids and never let them forget how much you love them and this is only temporary!! The Victrelis is the key!!

Right this is a wonderful solution to used for people like use i have cirrohsis stage 3 and was scared also so i pray and meditate a lotalong and go to eat out, maybe ill get on this website while out along i do feel so much better i have hep C and lung desease copd and recover from blood clot and also i have extream bad nervous system where some time i inch a lot.but i think i had hep c while i was young girl i had surgery on my left eye when i lost it as a letter girl. i am now 58 and with menopause, at with all these health problem it not easy i take zolet to help the inching. And controll my anxity level, but my doctor hav,nt given me any thing for this illness hep C yet he think I WANT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT DUE TO MY HEALTH PROBLEM. lettle he finnally told me this a yrs latter. I see a new doctor and he given me apt to refer me in beverly hill. and i hope he help me to. But to let uall no your problem are not that bad as long as you just have hep C and not all this other problem. you can use the free trial clinic but i don,t think i can until it stable and under controll. unless some one tell it not so. and prove it to me. WHAT TO DOO.
