Hi Sharon, Jeff is on one shot a week but takes 6 pills a day. When he first

started, he would get sick, about 4 hours after. Like upset stomache, throw up

sick. Then he would be good the rest of the week. This was right after he took

the shot. He did not have a problem going to work. Shot night is Fridays. Now,

theses last 2 months are starting to get worse. He does not get sick until 3-4

days later. He feels like he has a cold, legs ache, sometimes fever, He is tired

alot now. He gets home, goes take a nap. Gets up for dinner, then back to bed.

He also gets these killer migraines, but that could be from other meds he takes,

but we think now it is the tx. He does not get them all the time, but when he

does, he's in bed. He did the 48 weeks, and Dr. wants him to try to do 12 more

weeks, He is determined to keep going, anything to try to clear this nasty

disease. Everyone reacts different to the drugs. Don't be afraid, there is

support here for you. Sue

Thanks for your prayers. I found out today that I have Hep C and Cirrhosis. The

Hep C is from a blood tranfusion that I had 23 years ago. I was pregnant, went

into labor with my only child, and had an early seperation of the

placenta,starting hemorraging and lost the baby, plateletts left the blood and

had to have 29 units of blood, and a partial hysterectomy.

The gastro doc is starting me on a year long treatment, with 2 pills a day and a

shot a week. Have you or has anyone had treatment for Hep C? He told me I would

feel like I had the flu, and have a really bad case of the blahs. I don't see

the nurse to start the treatment until this week, so I'm just wondering what I

should expect.

Praying for all

Sharon
