About Me: Female, near melbourne, Australia, member since Sep 2009

i have 4 more wks on tx soc,i hav geno 3a,havnt had biopsy ever cos my liv doc says no need.blood tests always been ok or a lil elevated,think i caught it pretty young around 15 16( but didnt find out till around 20)i was rebelling & using drugs when 15 16 & i so regret ... [More] it all,never shared but i made the mistake of trusting every1 & letting them prepare my equipment,so they prob gave me dirty equip.im 29 now havnt done drugs since teenager.
i hav low wbc & i had to get dropped down to 1.35 from 1.85 peg at wk 8,hope that dont stuff my chances.i hav no idea if undetected at any wk of tx,my doc didnt tell me nothin about how i can get tests done on viral load b4 tx ends,i am only gettin my first viral load done at end of tx then 6 months post,but i cant complain cos its covered by medicare,so im soooooooo gr8ful for that.but i would hav gladly paid for anything if id have known about it but i only got 4 wks left so i wil just wait 4 mr wks & get viral load then.

my LFTs have never been real bad just a lil higher ast alt than normal b4 tx but now on tx they r as low as ever been,completely normal.i used to drink (binge drinking)regulary when teen to early 20s,wish i hadnt,feel so stupid,but when i wasd younger i was stupid otherwise i wouldnt hav hepc.
i hav 1 child,a 4yr old lil gal,i never planned to hav kids while havin hepc cos i was paranoid of bub gettin it but it must hav been meant to be,cos i was 25 & travelling with her dad & on the pill & i we were both goin to get tx b4 we settled wit kids but it didnt happen i fell preg & she is as healthy as an ox,thank god our kids cant get it easy hey,its hard tryin to b on tx whilst looking after a lil gal & not much support,its been so hard for me,iv had so many flues since tx i just start to feel beta then c some1 with flue & then bang i get it,very suseptable to flues at moment mayb cos of my low wbc,then again iv always been the type to get the flue quite a bit but never as much as on tx.
its so gd to hav a site where we can be our selves & not hav to hide the hep c issue,iv lost a few m8s from tellin em about my hep c cos they dont hav it they just freaked out,i tell my family & some m8s but alot of people dont understand,thats why im hoping to make more freinds with hep c or just people who r understanding & non judgemental.
well i think iv made my profile a bit more than( a lil about me)but i enjoy reading others profiles myself & get a bit bummed when people dont put nothin at all cos its educational as well as interesting etc,the more i learn about others tx & hep c probs the more we can learn what works for what etc.its nice to c which country they r from too,i wouldnt put my address on any net site but the country is fine,i dont put all my name etc either so i understand if peeps want to b private.
thanks to every1 for the gr8 advice & just reading all the post has been amazing iv learnt so much mopre than my doc would eva tell me.plus i just love hearing success storys about SVR people,congrats to u all,& my heart and preyers go out to all who hav not been as lucky im hoping we will all beat this 1 day.man this tx stuffs wit my head i hope i didnt rave on cos iv noticed i cant think prop to explain things prop.hope u dont mind my shorthand it save me a lot of time & room.
