I can't remember anything(but my memory wasn't much before).Some nights I sleep great,some nights I don't. My skin itchs me to death!!!
My wife is doing everything I used to do around the house, on top of her full time job. I don't like that at all, it's not fair to her.
I don't know if I can take 40 more weeks of treatments. My viral load was over 1,400,000 before I started meds. They will check again at 12 week mark.
All I can say to anyone else is "hang in there" I know everyone's situation is different, but it can get worse! Since I've been diagnosed I've had 2 friends pass away- one heart attack and one cancer. At least we've got a chance to fight this disease!!
If you want to talk,I'll be happy to listen.View Thread

I 've had been fatigued the whole time, seems to be a little worse now, then when I started.I don't sleep very long or very peaceful now. I quit taking naps during the day hoping I would sleep better at night, doesn't work! I'm losing my hair on my head,plus it's growing slow. My beard is still the same, have to shave everyday.
The Itching has almost stopped, just a couple places on my back. The Eucerin lotion is a life saver!!
My appetite is still lousy,I have to make myself eat most days. I have also added Ensure to my diet
.Thank God Tylenol helps with the headaches.
Don't expect any sympathy from most people, they don't know anything about it, and don't have it, so there for they can't relate.
Hope this helps,I know this site has helped me. I don't have anyone to talk to about this problem, that understands.View Thread

You can fight the insurance co.Have your Dr. write a letter saying the treatment is necessary! Then request a hearing with them. Sometimes they change there mind! Good Luck !
Tell him he's not alone.It does get to be depressing feeling tired all the time, I know it's hard, buy try to keep a
positive attitude.
Hope this is some help to the both of you! God BlessView Thread
