Treatment Date

On Monday I saw the nurse .My Pychiartrist was there aswel. They asked me how I am feeling. I told them that I feel the same but I am sleeping well and they were happy about that. They want me to carry on with the antidepressants tablets for another two weeks before starting the treatment. I asked them how long I have to take these tablets. They told me that I have to take them until the treatment finishes. On the 18th of April they are calling me to have my first injection. Obviously fears and hopes are continuing until I start the treatment.

Sleeping well

last night I slept well. I took an other antidepressants tablet this morning. I am trying to get ready for the treatment. Jonathan who is having treatment very successfully, I am reviewing his arrangements, e.g.vitamins, diet, herbs and massage. I read his blog every day. Personally he is a very good person to help other people. His blog is very useful for other hep. c sufferer. In reality I got lots encouragements from reading his blog. And it helped me to move forward for the treatment. God bless him. His blog address is ( hepcfight.blogspot.com)

She advised me that I should Chang the time to take the tablet. And she said you would get some of the side effects first week but second week you would get good effects.

ABOUT ME

I am a hep. C patient. I am 40 year old. I was diagnose in 2000. I was not given much information. I had a liver biopsy in April 2000. The result was 2/6 . My consultant recommended for me the usual treatment. but when my nurse told me the side effects of the treatment I decided not to have the treatment. Because I had no symptoms only tiredness and very little pain in liver area. Plus I had been told that it is a very slow progressing disease, so I did not have the courage to risk my healthy being.in 2003 I create courage and decided to go for the treatment. My consultant told me that I had to have a new liver biopsy. So in July 2004 I had a new liver biopsy with surprising result that was 5/6. That is 3 point more within 4 years time. That time I forgot to ask my consultant about this quick progress of liver damage. But I asked my nurse about that. She said it could be be the first report was wrong . But I said it could be the new one is wrong because both reports were made in the same hospital and by the same doctor. Then she said I will ask the liver specialist about that . So the liver damage progress is still a wonder for me.
