Is anyone happy they were treated for Hep C?
Is anyone free of side effects after treatment for Hep C? I am having trouble finding anyone who is happy they were treated. Everyone seems to have side effects long after finishing taking interferon etc. Is there ANYONE who can tell me they are well and happy after, say, a month after finishing with the regime?

Been SVR for 4 years and although I am 6 years older (treated for 72) and have more wrinkles, pains and aches but I'm just not 25 anymore and they are to be expected.
Darn glad I treated and just as glad (if not more) that I found everybody in here who carried me through the times when they were tough. Treatment can totally suk but it's not the end of the world and life does go on. But we are all responsible for finding our own happiness in the end. Interferon can't do that.

Goofy maybe you can answer this for me since it might correlate to SVR on the last attempt at TX: Why is it that every time I lose something I find it in the last darn place I look?
"Treated a couple of times, cured once."
Was your cure on the first or the second time? I've been doing an informal survey and it seems when people SVR it's almost always on the last time they treat. It's almost as if the Hep bugs can tell this is gonna be the last train leaving the station and they better get on it if they want a ride out of town. Weird, huh?

Goofy...how do you find those gems day after day...LMAO!!!
Jane, I finished TX 18 mos ago and I have never regretted doing treatment...never. I feel great now. I do have hypothyroidism for which I have to take one pill a day but that is no big deal to me and I'm not even really sure that the treatment caused it; I believe HCV caused it as my numbers were beginning to change before I started TX. I have some joint aches that I didn't have before but I am learning that if I reduce my carb intake it minimizes that issue greatly and it's not really even an issue.
I'm 56 years old and I can keep up just fine with my very athletic 30-something sons and their significant others.
