so I am a product of this combination therapy for my Hep C at the time. 2000. Honestly no one knew what they were doing, with the exception of one wonderful nurse on the phone. Together we had a plan. I was undetectable at 6 weeks, but remained on the therapy for 6 months. I was happy, of course. It wasn't until I spoke to a doctor around 2010, that did not mince words. He said I was f*cked when I got older. Well here I am at 62 and I am somewhat f*cked. My anxiety and depression are off the charts and it is getting harder and harder to live this way.

Wow what a lovely comment from the doctor… gotta love doctor sometimes in eh…But unfortunately he was right in the case for a lot of us.
And the fun stuff keeps popping up.
I don’t know what to do either. I just try my best to make the best of every day. I do use medical cannabis because I hate using any more chemicals. And you can actually find organic cannabis these days.
I have a brick and mortar business but my husband Is running it now… I am at home doing online business. And I still do my art or whatever makes me happy. Music people even if it’s an online video chat. You got to surround yourself with Happy as best as you can.
What friends I still have… keep telling me I’m a survivor… So I’ll keep trying.
I’ll be waiting to see what litigation happens in the future. In the meantime I’m not gonna hold my breath. It’s hard enough just trying to keep my brain happy without anxiety and depression that exploded after treatment all those years ago. Keep posting people!
At least it gives us validation for now. Something will happen hopefully we will all survive it !
And for a lot of us that’s pretty much what it is…. Trying to keep going mentally and physically🤨
