side effects
None to speak of, thank God! I don't feel like there are any meds going through me,,thank God.
This is great so far. The tiny bit of woozy feeling I felt originally, which WAS TINY TINY TINY BIT, nothing scary or anything, is gone and it feels like I am not on tx. I did get a headache 4 hours after the shot and chills, felt like flu,,,,but to those that are planning on tx,,,,,don't even worry about that 'flu feeling' that is mentioned by those treating,,,its nothing that you have never felt before.
I haven't had the flu since i was a child and so when i felt it comming on,,,I turned it to actually think of good memories,,,,I hated school as a child and when i got the flu,,i would be in bed all day with my mother giving me soup and liquids and such. Hard to explain, but I let my imagination take me back to that time and I had a 'safe feeling,' Not to sound 'new age,' which i am not, but just wanted you to know that I just rode the wave, knowing it was going to eventually go away and it did.
The reason I am saying all this is because alot of times we hear how scary treatment is and thus far,,,its a piece of cake,,I am telling those that are afraid,,NOT TO FEAR. Yes sometimes people may have a harder time than others, but sometimes we don't get enough of posts of the positive. We only post when things go wrong sometimes.
Of course I know I have a only been on tx for 4 days, but I AM TELLING YOU, IF I DIDN'T SEE MYSELF TAKE THE INJECTION AND MEDS, I WOUDLN'T EVEN KNOW THEY ARE IN MY BODY.
I hope this helps those who may be fearful. Best wishes to you all.

WOW, I never knew a "good so far after first shot" post would draw such a conversation.

for those who have spiritual eyes, 'they' see whats or who is behind this,,,you are right this is NOT a post that should have drawn such a conversation. but as i said,,I won't try to encourage anymore.I didn't realize it would cause such a problem, but then again maybe i should have.
I know how fear can cripple someone and just wanted to encourage, but thats okay, no more. But thanks Imagine for your encouragement.

She associates me with a group she hates (the ACLU) and tries to discredit me by implying that I am a member of that group. All because I once pointed out that if her child contracted HCV, the ACLU would defend her child's right to remain in school if the school tried to expel him.
You may want to argue that that's not bigotry, but I will have to say that MyOwn's contempt for me ( e.g., she says I've never contributed anything worthwhile to this forum) and her sarcasm are not Christianity...

Maybe you're having the vision problems associated with treatment...
isn't that nice of you to say something like that who just started treatment.. now I'll give it to you straight, sweet heart...YOU NEED JESUS. period
but i see that you ARE reading the word and quoting,,,well i am praying for you.
I hope you answered Grandoak's question by the time I hit the post,,,I am curious myself about what he asked,,but I know you all too well by now,,even though you only peek out from the weeds on occasion, i still know 'your type.'
and as far as the mother with the teenager having to take care of his father who has hep c,,,,,oh thats right,,you're in that group who believes transmission is SO SO difficult and also,,,you don't think the image he would have seared into his mind of remembrance of his dad would hurt? Pleeeeze,
but one thing,,,you do make for good entertainment on a Sunday night,,,i bet everyone is missing there favorite tv show right now.... you're statement to me about my vision possibly being effected showed your true colors. I don't think there is anyone on forum who would stoop that low with a remark like that to someone who just started treatment. Its just too bad that people are afraid to stand up to bad though.
