I've had the Big "C" since my army days in 70's. Went through treatment in early 90's, no workey. Went through Pegatron/rebatol, around 2006, now that was some bad feeling stuff; only time I ever thought about putting a hole in my head, I mean seriously thinking about it. They said I was cured, but I figure it just slowed her down some.
I'm not tired or achey sick or anything and I've had it for 35 years or more. Figure I've got my moneys worth living in Alaska anyway. I'll probably drop over from heart attack like all my relatives in mid 60's;;;; so I got 7 more years;;; life is good. Every day is another lucky one.
I got mine from a blood transfusion in my teens. I am always tired. I had a liver biopsy a few yrs ago. To my doctors shock & my surprise it came out really good. A few days later I came down with MRSA. I must have picked it up in the hospital. That darn MRSA has hit me a few times now & the antibiotics are liver killers. I doubt my liver is in very good shape at this point. I suppose I ought to go see my gastro dr before my health insurance changes... My gastro dr told me that if I tried the new treatment I would still be tired & frankly didn't see the point of me going through the side effects. I just take my milk thistle & some other things & pray all the time. At 52 yrs old I have a 10 yr old daughter & just want to see her grow up. My parents lived into their 80’s but all my siblings are dead. You are right, every day is a good one. Prayers for both of us & all people with hep c.
