Well, the time has finally come.I have just been notifies that my prescriptions for Peg and Riba will be delivered to my house on tuesday the 8th.
I have an appt. on Thurs. the 10th for my first shot and all that goes with it. I would be lying to you guys if i said I was not scared.Not so much from the shots, but the side effects.I have COPD and some depression, however I am well medicated for both.My Hep. Doc. says this could irritate both depression and COPD. I would like to ask that if you pray, please just send a 'lil one up for me to be a responder. I want to get rid of this dragon. I have been coming here to DS for awhile now and made some really special,good people.Mostly just asking questions and chit chat. I do know that through our hep c family it will be alot better for me. I have learned so much from you guys.I want to take the time to thank each and everyone of you. Let me go ahead and apologize, I don't know that I won't be a lil cranky at times.I know that I need you guys now more than ever. I just wanted y'all to know :) Love and Hugz, Cindy Posted on 04/03/08, 02:04 pm |

Right on Cindy.
Now I had asthma which is now turned to COPD emphysema, during treatment, it was a hard journey, but I was commited to do the whole 48 weeks and did it. If you are like me, even if it almost killed me, I was totally commited to kill the dragon, like my hubby had done the year before. By the way, Pegetron/ribavirin is the kind of combo treatment I was on and I managed to kill the beast. You can be sure that I will be there for you all the way. Take care sweetie, and it's normal to be afraid of the unknown, but being positive is half the battle, so you can win this war. Good luck on your journey. Mckenzie one day at the time type 1a

The best to you. I must tell you that I was terrified prior to treatment. i expected the worse. My fear was the worse. I think mild exercise and lots of water has helped me. My only problem has been lose of energy. This experience has been actually a good one for me. It has forced me to concentrate on what really matters. I notice since I have a lack of energy, I save my energy for my family and my art work.
Isn't this site wonderful? I have made many good friends too, plus lots of good advice. It sounds like you are well prepared and so many people on this site are pulling for you. Keep us posted.

I'll keep you in my prayers. I really understand your fears...I started last friday and I was scared shitless! But the good news is that 7 days later I feel pretty darn close to normal. Actually felt pretty normal by Sunday. I'm hoping it stays this way. Keep us posted.
