Did you have a hard time on the tx, or was it fairly easy going?

I have found in these early weeks that the absolute best weapon I have against beating this disease is staying mentally positive! Also doing the recommended things: drinking heaps of water, compliance with medication, talking with trusted others, eating as best as possible, mild exercise, and just generally being kind to myself.

It took me a long time to like myself enough to stop all the destructive behaviour like drugs, booze and partying to be able to start treatment.

I would not swap this journey for anything. Even when I feel crappy from sx I just remember that it is nothing compared to a badass hangover or hanging out for opiates!

This is probably one of the biggest things I have ever done apart from kicking other habits, and if it works *fingers crossed* I have the rest of my longer life to look forward too Hep C free :)

I even look forward to my weekly Peg-Int injection because I know it is making me better.

On Monday is my 4 week bloods so here's hoping for good results, if not will deal with that when it comes.

I get heaps of my strength from the people/posts here... Cheers to all!

Will get off my soapbox now lolz

Hugs and High-fives smile
