anyone who is interested in learning more about living with hep c may also find the book "Living With Hepatitis C for Dummies" useful. it explains how hep C affects the body and gives advice on today's treatment options-from drugs (and their side effects) to transplants and alternative therapies-as well as tips on dealing with the emotional and financial burdens the disease brings with it.

Thanks Jake and Jodie being 12 weeks into the treatment it's getting rough but your 100% right not do this treatment alone... I'm lucky to have a beautiful wife and I have started some counceling because of the issues arising from the treatment... I've found work hard and only worked 3 day in 11 week which work are not to happy about and im fighting to save it... I'm having bad side effects so far worse than I thought I would have but I am hoping the end goal is worth it... Thanks again

Hi.

Jake you mentioned that you did not clear yet there were some benefits from treatment for you... can you expand on that? Isn't there the possibility of long-term damage and other health problems from doing the interferon treatment?

I've been avoiding mainstream treatment for 5 years now, just having a difficult time committing to it. I don't want to feel worse than I already do.

Thanks for the video and any words you can share.

peace,

Mark

Jake & Jodie---greetings from La La Land (Los Angeles)...I'm about 6.75 months through a 72 week course of treatment and it is haaaarrrrrddd. I 2nd everything you say, esp. the need for support---simply having a few close friends to talk to has been crucial to me--esp. when I need someone to remind me that the dark times are as a result of the interferon, Neupogen (ugh!), riba, etc. and that they will pass and I will feel human again...thanks for all your good work;)
