Nearly There!
I am so near the end of therapy week 46/48 and I want to say thanks for all the support from everyone in this forum. I had problems loggin in a few times so I now have a new id but the Hep B support forum is one of the best. To anyone else starting the treatment journey, stick with it and talk to your friends here. At my lowest point in treatment someone who had just finished treatment said in a post "This is hard but it is DOABLE", so I would like to encourage anyone out there struggling, hang on in there and others have been where you are now. I have had the lot from spots to hyperthyroidisim to intensive physio and I never thought I would make it this far, I was sick of been sick and aching all over. If you are having a bad day hang on in there and come here for support as I did. Thank folks I could not have done it without this group forum, will post outcome when I know about test results but still have two weeks to go.
I must be missing something here.... Crackerjack, have you been here before then? Anyhows to catch up on previous replies, i did the interferon for the year but it didn't really decrease my VL enough for me to call it quits at the end of the year. I am now on combo-treatment (as you have read) and managed to sero-convert. The year is gruelling but i was more afraid of the needles than the side effects which tbh wasn't too bad for myself... Leeds huh? I wonder if you might go on the same tx procedure... How long you been on pega now?
what kind of pains are you having and are the pains from hep b or from the treatment medicine.
Not Ann8. See that's tricky, because Ann8 is male.
But I know who you are before. Not because of connection to MH, but because I am a NYer and NYers just knows stuff. So I'll just say welcome back crackjack230 and leave it at that.

I'm thinking this is jack1642...but wanted to make sure. no not jack1642, LOL ... this is fun
LOL ...not telling but you were a friend in my past id... this could be funny
just read your profile.... you are on ....Adevoir and Lumuduvine. I do wish you luck and hope you get a better outcome at the end of treatment.
you talking about pega interferon? ...Yeah course I am, Pegylated Interferon , just call it peggy in Leeds. Hi Peter nice to meet you. Are you on treatment or are you finished yet. It has been a journey indeed. I find it much more helpful to talk to others doing the jasus therapy as opposed to a hepatology nurse who comments.... that symptom is on "my list". I need to know I am understood and not talking to someone who hasn't a clue. I have been to my GP more times the past year, I found the treatment doable but frightening at time especially when I has awful symptoms and I did not understand what was happening. The hyperthyroidisim was the worst but it only lasted a few weeks and it has gone now. Hope you are ok and the therapy is been kind. I cannot believe some people actually continue working whilst on interferon, I must be very sensitive indeed.
