Kellie- When I first read this post I was not on treatment yet  and understood what you were talking about, but really didnt "understand" it cause I was not going through it.  I am now in my 3rd week and have been getting "flash backs" of past events at the strangest times. Whats weird is its like Im watching the events in my mind, but now seeing them with a sober view. Sitting and thinking about how odd this seemed I remembered reading this post and had a "ah ha" moment. I now totally understand what you were talking about! Its like as my body is healing and fighting, my mind is doing the same thing. Healing is not just a physical thing, but also and mental and spiritual one!

I'm sorry to hear about your rash, let us know how the Reki goes.

I think that it is an emotional journey for many people, some have lived with this disease a long time, others have found the strength to treat. This is not an easy journey for many people, and I'm sure at points people have become very depressed and angry at their situation. I know some people have also lent to their beliefs, so it has been spiritual for them in that essence.

I can appreciate you returning to the beginning to get to the end of that journey, but remember what doesn't break you, won't kill you.

Hi Carl,

Thank you for sharing your experience, strength and hope.  I know exactly where and when I got this. No regrets for me. I'll be using this experience to share with others and let them know they are not alone. Thank you for doing that for me.

hug,

Kellie

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for your insight. I think the point I'm trying to get across is even though my brain has processed these events and I have long ago forgiven and have come to a place of acceptance, the body still has some sort of energetic residue left over that must clear the body in order to truly heal.  I can say to myself, yes, I'm good and living in the present. The past is gone, over, done. But..intuitively I feel as though there's more to slaying this dragon than taking these pills.

This is just me though....

I've got one hell of a rash right now and my little friend is back on my bum.

I'm going to a gal who does energy work tonight - a bit like Riki. I've went to her several years ago when I was having trouble with my left foot (oh that's funny - "My Left Foot" )-

She works along the Chakra line - I feel as though the energy is stuck from being dug in for so many decades and resistant to moving on - or my other theory, is there is so much being released right now it's overpowering my system...

I'll check in tomorrow to say hi. I really love being able to connect with you and others during this time. I have always admired folks that have an inborn capacity tocan live completly in the present

Thank you,

Kellie

The mind is like a series of passages with doors. Our concious minds cannot simply process everything and places it into storage. Any emotional event can unlock a door and spill open its contents.

I'm a great believer in the here and now. I don't worry about what happened in the past, because it is simpy that, the past. If I can't change an outcome, or something bad happened, I feel that I am no longer there, I have control of my life in this moment.

I do understand that some people are affected by thier past and I am sorry for that.

Good luck with therapy. :)

Hey there Matt,

Yeppers, you hit the nail on the head with that one. I processed most of the San Fran stuff years ago consciously. But lately with these meds it's almost like a psychedelic effect - being able to see the different layers of life. Perception is a better word for it. I had the most interesting lunch with my bro last week. Not much was said, but I left the restaurant feeling like there was an energy shift, transfer-feeling very grateful.

All this subconscious stuff rising to the surface like boiling cranberries. I was talking to my NP yesterday about it - she agrees... I'm getting pretty articulate now, like I was before all this nonsense began.

I think of the movies "Awakenings" similar, also "Flowers for Algernon" though both of those stories ended badly. I'll look into Ms. Pert. Thanks for the 411 - by the way - I'm ND as of last Friday but have on hell of a rash! YaY!

I don't know if I contracted it from sharing needles or from having a surgery when I was a kid.  I also got a whole raft of inoculations in the Army when I was in during the 80's.  One of the medics gave me a shot for Hepatitis A and B, I asked him what the shot consisted of and he said hep non a non b.  I was always sure it was from sharing needles but most of my needle friends don't have Hep C.  I was a junky for a short period.  I've been in NA for 24 years so I don't regret the past.  Just keep coming back.

Hey Kellie 

Sounds like your listening to your body, it can speak to us in varies ways.

Perhaps all this stimulation of HCV thoughts have awoken memory cells deep within your body and brain.

In some people being on the Meds brings an altered state of consciousness which allows them to access things they could not normally reach.

The power of the body mind has Interesting elements .

There is a great researcher / author named  Candace Pert she wrote a book called "Your Body is Your Subconscious Mind" it's a great audio book for listening to in your car

Hey there buds,

Any folks out there experiencing memories of maybe about the same time they contracted the virus during the treatment? I know some will say it's the medicine head. I contracted this virus during a time of great emotional sadness and confusion decades ago. I'm finding myself going back there in my brain lately. Good that I have a wonderful counselor, but I feel as though the virus is dying leaving my body it's giving me one last hurray. yay not....ok I know some of you are going to tell me I'm over thinking this thing. If you have the urge to go there about these thoughts, never mind -be nice. OK? Any folks do any energy work around this. I want to cover all my basis, since I know the body is made up of more than blood, cells and bones.

Hi Kellie, well, most people feel more vulnerable and emotional while on these meds and so for some people past issues are bound to come to the surface again.  That was certainly the case when I was on tx, and actually I found that the emotional impact was one of the hardest things to cope with.  I think it`s something we all have to deal with in the way that suits us best, and it`s probably very helpful for you to have a counsellor to take it over with.  I just did a lot of shouting!  wink  

I`m glad you brought the subject up, take care, and remember we`re always ready to listen... Jill
