    Starting treatment

    I had my doctor appt yesterday and next Friday, on my birthday, I start treatment for Hepatitis C. The nurse at the dr's office will teach me how to give myself shots next Friday. I will most likely get pretty sick from the shots, they said fever, chills, nausea, no appetite, among other things. The symptoms last up to 48 hours after the shot. I'm doing shots Friday nights so I hopefully don't miss too much work.

    Of course I cannot drink at all once I start treatment. I guess maybe it is a blessing in disguise. Hope everyone is doing well and I'll keep in touch.

      Hey Marcie,

      How are you feeling, girl? You know we'll be with you in spirit every step of the way. How long does the treatment go on? Weeks? Months? Sorry if you've already told us--I've always had a strainer brain, and topa doesn't help:eek !

      Anyway, what a birthday present!!!

      Lots of love, sweetie!!:d

        Kathy tx is for 6 months, If the virus is gone by 4 weeks I may only have to do 3 months. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

                  Marcie, From readin your posts and your letter to mother in law and just other things you seem to me like a very strong person. Inside and out. (building a shed?) Anyway, I know any kind of treatment has gotta be hard. But I can see that you got it in ya sister, with its hard and difficult times, you're gonna come out of it real cool....healthy and stronger then you even are now. I hope it goes fast for you and ya know everyone is here for you as we sure know you would be for any of us too. :h :h :h gabby

                        Thanks so much

                        Thanks to everyone for your support. I am ready for this, it may be the biggest challenge I have ever faced in my life. I'm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. I ready to kick this dragon's a$$(the dragon is what we affectionatly call Hep C on the boards).

                            Marcie -

                            Time to get yourself a wireless modem, so we can give you support if you want to put your tired ass in bed ... and we can type jokes for you!

                            I hope everything goes well, at least you should only feel crappy for first few days after shot.

                            Thinking of you,
                            Pansy
