Hey Renee--happy to hear from you. Glad you are still UND--that is really cool. I understand about the depression--but I think Shaun has a really good suggestion--try to stay in contact with people and especially those close to you. I have been trying to avoid AD. I have noticed that I get more down when I found myself alone--as soon as I hear from someone -in any form--phone, text, playing silly games on the phone or talking to neighbors in the street--I start feeling better.

Sending good thoughts your way!

So glad your VL is still UND!  Sounds like you are doing well.  I had some mental side effects about that far into treatment, brain fog, moodiness and a little depression.  They had me on welbutrin which seemed to hold me together well enough.

I found the best cure for the mental sides was being around people who care about you.

Hey LA - We must be on the same timeline as I just got my 12-week results as well.  Chart attached.  Ditto zero viral load.  Always really nice to hear that!  I share your achy lack-of-sleep.  I assume my issue is the side effects of one Procrit shot ten days ago.  Makes my bones ache.  Hang in there - we are halfway home!

Hey Lady, sorry to hear you are not feeling well, the Celexia should help some ...even for sleep, at least that was one of the complaints my hubby had with that one. It might smack at your sex drive as well...all temporary, Keep on slaying girl!, you can do it! Blessings dear, Iris

Renee,

Glad your labs are looking better. That is so important. My levels have been up and down, but always controllable. You sound like you are coping OK, but I miss that excited sound in your posts. I'm sure it will be back. Hang in there, girl. You'll make it.

Alan

Renee so glad you are still UDT. I find treatment is a long grind and I just have to hang on and be patient. I have felt like hell mentally and physically for months. It will end eventually. You have had a rough time. So sorry about that. This stuff does make me very depressed and anxious. Get whatever meds you need to cope with it. One day it will just all be a bad dream and you will be hepatitis C free. Hugs

Got my blood work in from my week 12:
I'm not too anemic
My WBC are a little on the lower side (I guess from the low end they were at at week 8 ish)
My enzyme lvls are great
and my Viral Load is clear (Still UND)
YAY :)
The depression has kicked in after 11-12 weeks and am being put on Celexia.
Physically the last two or so weeks been feeling like I do during day two after my weekly shot; doing better today so I am dealing.
Haven't been sleeping too well even with the sleep aids. And just achey and tired alot. So glad my bloodwork is good! Have a great night everyone!  May your sfx be few and your good days many and your Viral loads 0!!
