Hello Friends !

I've been away for a while due to health issues, but wanted to say howdy today.

I'm almost done with a 24-week treatment for Hep C...

This was a tough road, but I'm glad I did it.

This treatment comes with a ton of nasty side effects, but for me, it was the fatigue and insomnia that put me down the worst.

So, I haven't been very active around here or anywhere else for the past six months.

I sure have missed you cats, and I'm hoping to be more able to spend some time here soon.

The virus was dead at week 6 of treatment, and that is a real blessing.

The doc says I will always test positive for the virus, but the viral load itself is termed undetectable. This, he says, terms it as being a cure !!

Anyhow, it's good to be saying hello, and hope to be around more often !!

Kev - I am really glad to hear that you're in remission. However, I really wish you had said something -before- beginning treatment. I went through the 'old' therapy about 15 years ago. After 10 months of pure hell, I was declared a non-responder and the treatment was terminated. I had every bad symptom/side-effect from the chemo drugs that are listed on the labels. But... I had a trick or two that worked for the insomnia, lack of appetite and the horrendous depression that the Interferon and Ribavirin created. Again, I'm happy to hear about your outcome, but I wish I could have helped you -during- the treatment.

Kev _ I take Milk Thistle capsules every day. It has a wonderful cleansing and restorative effect on the liver. Do a little Googling on it. It'll help you stay healthy. It's a natural herb, no drugs, no chemicals. More important... it works!

Welcome back to the world!

Too many great drums to list here!
