About Me
HCV and I also have chrosis of the liver. Was dx in 2004 and started tx 10/28/07. I am Geno type 3A. I wish to share my experiences and helpful hints to those that have just started. As an update, I finished my tx on April 3, 2008 and am so happy to finish. I slayed that friggen Dragon for now. and hopefully he won't be back. I still have to deal with the Cirrhosis, and the panic attacks that I've been having. Stay strong and kick that Dragon ass. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I have so many people to thank for my outcome, I don't know where to start. My children have been awesome, thanks for the phone calls every day, and thanks for putting up with my crappy moods. My boyfriend's is the bomb and a little TNT for putting up with me. But most of all my new family at DS has been my strenght and hope that got me thru this hell. Thanks! I also want to say that it wasn't easy by any means but you have to stay strong and send this Dragon back to hell, where he came from. I'm here for you, even if it's just to vent, scream or yell. I know it hurts, I know the pain very well. Remember it's not forever. Good luck my fellow warriors!!
Interests
My interests are to enjoy life to the fullest and slay this Dragon. I am very determined to get this behind me and get my life back. I love the outdoors as well as animals. Just love the fuzzy creatures. Board horses and have 2 dogs. They have been my inspiration throughout this whole ordeal. God bless their little hearts, (ok my boyfriend too:) I've had alot of support from family and friends but mostly my family of DS, (thanks guys:)I love you all xoxoxoo

Close Depression
Type: Post Partum DepressionMy name is Kat and I was dx with Hep-c 4 yrs ago. Since then I've been so depresssed and out of sorts. I've compleated tx 3 months ago and still feel the depression and ancious feelings that just come from nowhere. I'm on ativan and have tried so many antidepressants and can't seem to find one that works for me. I can't stand this feeling any longer. I've become a cave dweller..Yikes!!
Treatments
- Cymbalta Not Working
- Sick to my stomach. Lots of sides. Can't concentrate.. Work has become a challenge.
