My energy is getting better, as well as feeling like that old fog is lifting. My doctor is encouraging a go at the new pegylated treatment, probably around the first part of 2001. I'm thinking about it, but I have to admit, this is quite a roller coaster for my kids, husband and our extended family, as well as myself. Emotionally, it's a rough cycle. Being genotype 1b is a tough one.
Food is a challenge.
After a couple of weeks, I figure I will have grown a bit more accustomed to the treatment and life will get a little better. After eight weeks, I'm due for the first PCR check. The difference between this time and my last treatment is that after eight weeks, I will continue the daily dose. Last time I went on a maintenance dose of three times a week, and the virus came back like a tidal wave. Sometimes the form this dragon takes is elusive.
