Finished 48 weeks--am I dreaming??

View More Posts
Hello to all in DS land. If u are new and debating treatment, in treatment already, or finished treatment...I am here to welcome you and share my experience, strength and hope with you and let u know that if I can do it...so can u!! I am type 1A and finished 48 weeks this past Friday and had a bunch of ribavarin pills left and was informed today that I do not need to finish the pills!! I had a rough time on tx. That is not to say u will have a rough time. Everyone reacts diffrently to the meds. Unfortunately for me it was rough...but doable. I worked throughout my treatment but did take a leave of absence for about 3 months when I was approx 2 months on tx. Bottom line is I went from a viral load of 6 million to nondetectable!! I pray for all of us with this silent killer to get well and find peace in their day. The people I met here have helped me more than the doctors could ever help

" What a coincidence-just commented on you Ji and then saw this! So again I say 'Yippee' - so proud of you - what an inspiration for us following in your wake.

So very kind of you to stay and help the new ones that come here lost like I did last July...the circle goes round and round!

So respect you for working while on tx - amazing! I'm 1/2 way and can't wait to post my end like you!!!

xoxo "
