Neff and 72314, Your stories are heartbreaking. I send you both my deepest sympathies. Life most certainly is not fair as proven by all who post here. Please take care of yourselves and let others...
Hey Rob, the low energy is unfortunately pretty common. I had to nap frequently which was very unusual for me, but it got me through. I've read the half life of ribavirin is 12 or 14 days, depending...
My hep doc put me on 100mg of zoloft 6 wks before starting riba/interferon/sovaldi. I knew within a few days zoloft was not my friend. I felt strange, withdrew from everything and was miserable. I...
Hi Mia, I will be 3 wks post tx on Tues. I felt better about 2 wks post tx but this week, not so much. Yesterday I took a 3 hr nap, first nap since finishing tx. I had decided I would NOT nap anymore...
I finished meds on July 14, had lab on the 15th. Lab came back undetected for virus but they gave me no number. I haven't noticed much improvement on the hearing front but I've only been off meds 16...

You deserve a drum roll, 101 gun salute, medal for bravery and thousands of hugs. I so admire and respect you for making the 24 wks, as I said before, when I thought I had 24 wks I wasn't sure I...
Thanks for the info, encouragement and hugs, all are needed and appreciated. Just got voicemail from nurse, she said only 12 wks. So, after today, I have 7 days of sovaldi left and should do...
I am on the triple med tx and rec'd next 4 wks of pegasys/riba last week, called to refill sovaldi and they say I have no refill, tx only 12 wks. I said, I don't think so. Original Rx for...
Thanks for the link. I have been on a crusade with my Bff to slow down on HFCS, she's addicted to Dr. Pepper and she's always fatigued. She drinks about 8 DPs per day....
Free at last, hallelujah Dog! I know it will be nothing but good news from here. So happy for you....
