Cross your fingers for me people.(Warning, Hep.C related)

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I will be taking my first combo treatment for Hep C on Monday.

For at least the next six months, (maybe longer, who knows) I will be taking an extra 6 pills a day along with 3 shots a week ( in my stomach. Yuck ! ).

Please send any extra prayers, good thoughts ect… my way if you get the chance, that my blood counts won’t drop badly and there will be no other side effects bad enough to make me have to stop treatment early.

I feel really good about this, the geno-type of Hep C I have responds well to treatment and lots of 3 A’s (my geno type) have had a sustained remission time, up to 2 years thus far.

Way to go Lioness. You can do it.

:smiley:

You go, Aye!

how strange is this? I just posted to your other thread about parents/school starting, popped in at the web site in your sig line, saw the Hep C reference.

On Monday, I posted a pit threat “those blood sucking” (no need to check it out, the pertinant info is here). The reason my son and I had to get the blood tests is that his dad was diagnosed with Hep C recently, tho the Hep non specified dated back to when we were together (15 years ago). I’ll know Monday.

All positive thoughts out to you in the meantime…

Fingers crossed, toes crossed, legs crossed, arms crossed…

Hell. If I had a second dick, I’d cross them too.

G’Luck.

:smiley: :wink:

Wring, I will be praying the test are negative ! Neither the LIONsob (hubby) nor son have it. They are pretty sure it can’t be passed sexually, if it were I know the LIONsob would have it. The disease is pretty much blood to blood transferred, of course it doesn’t take much blood.

Try not to worry too much.

I’d pay good money to see ** that ** Chief ! ::snicker::

What’s the shot, interferon? If so, I’m sure you’ve been told about the “cold-like” symptoms… :frowning:

Well, good luck and kick the crap out of those nasty buggers. :wink:

10

Believe me, I know about the thing interferon does, I was on it for two years. It’s more flu like than cold like.

But I do respond, I just relapsed when I went off mono (interferon alone) treatment. So here’s hoping the added anti-viral will keep it away.

All the best, Ayesha. I think I told you this before. I think your willingness to share this with us is saving lives.

Thank you, and good luck.

12

You can never know how much that means coming from you Manny.

13

You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers, Ayesha. And I, too, thank you for sharing. All the best! xoxo

14

Best of luck to you, Ayesha! I’ll be thinking of you…when I’m not staring in to space, wondering just what Chief would look like with his dicks crossed…:smiley:

::snicker,staring into space day dreaming about a certian Chief with two um, little sailors, giggle:: Me too Persephone, me too.

I will be sending lots of positive thoughts your way.
