I want to add a little story. Last novemeber I was in Naples building 3 wood decks for KOA campground. I took my sunglasses off for a second, cut a board and got a couple wood chips in my eye. It happens occasionally and I keep some eye wash in my first aid kit and used it. I always get the wood out buy it always puts a little irritating scratch on my eye that hurts for an hour or two. This one hurt bad and it was first thing in the morning. So I took some gauss and tape, taped it over my eye to keep the sun out and continued you to work on the decks as I was on a deadline. 6pm that evening, (9 hours later) my eye was still hurting bad and I believed that I might have a splinter stuck in my eye, so off to the ER I went.

The Dr. put some local antisthetic in my eye and it felt better. No splinter just a big scratch. He said he was going to write a presciption for percocet and I said no, I'm an addict. What non narcotic do you got, he said Advil. Well I ate 800mg of advil before I went down there and Nada. So I gave in, knowing that I wouldn't sleep that night, but told him to write it for 4 pills. Got back to the cabin and took 2, felt better immediately, but I got high and I felt all kinds of guilty and stupid. got rid of the rest. For the next 2 months I felt apathy, irritable, discontent.... had a little mini depression, it was like 90 days till felt myself again, from 2 ****ing pills. My body is sooo sensitive to any kind of anything, even second hand cigarette or cleaning chemicals.

I've known that I've had Hep C since '90 and knew that I couldn't handle the Interferon and Riboviron, so I've been patiently waiting for these pills that have finally come out, but my geno type 1A supposedly has not had a protocall done for it yet. I'm digressing, my message is that the longer you're clean the more vulnerable your system becomes. It's clean and wants to stay that way.

Thanks again for your support brothers and sisters.
