Hi everyone

I wanted to give some positive feedback for people that have Hep C and were blessed enough to respond to treatment.  Im not sure if this is a new room but it doesnt matter if we are all here to receive love and support.  My PCR and liver alts have been normal after doing combo treatment in 1999 and I feel so blessed that when I was going through the highs and lows of treatment I had Seekers room and Janis when she was with us to get such love and support during those times of wondering if I was going to make it through 3 shots a week with the pills also.  We have come a long way since combo treatment and how so many doctors now are aware of how to treat Hep C.   I want to say to those of you that are on treatment now that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that most of all dont let yourself give in the feelings of despair during treatment.  

             One thing that helped me a lot when I told my doctor while on treatment that I felt so sad and tired that I prayed I could make it through treatment.   His response was I can give you some meds for that but you have to ask yourself did I feel this way before treatment or is it just the meds making me feel so scared, tired, achey and just out right in a funk.   I know it sounds simple but I just kept telling myself that its the combo treatment and not the real me.  Everyone here thats gone through treatment should be very proud of yourselves knowing that it was no cake walk and you did it.  These days Im doing well and life does get better after treatment.  If you are considering treatment or going to wait because you only have inflammation not scaring of your liver just remember Peg has always had a much better response rate than the old combo treatment.  I have a PCR done once a year now and I have given up drinking almost entirely but now and then Ill have a couple of beers but its never the same as when I didnt know I had Hep C.  Every time I have a beer now I think about if Im damaging my liver.  My liver alts have always been normal since 1999 so I do feel really luck and blessed.  I decided to have a couple of beers while enjoying the fireworks last night and it never feels like it did so what can I say.      

Thanks to everyone here and on the other Hep C sites with Delphi for helping me through the biggest and most rewarding thing I have ever gone through.  In closing, Love the people around you more and discard the people that bring drama into your life.  Hep C is a real indicator of what unconditional love is all about.    

Respect & Love

Wayne
