        I am on the Interferon self injections, MWF and I have 11 more shots to go…..I have hair loss, but mostly my front.  It appears there is growth as well, but about 2-3 mths ago it really was coming out, has slowed down some now.  I am so greatful for Interferon, but have mixed emotions about stopping….my doctors say I am not going to believe how great I am going to feel when I am done.  I am looking forward to that, for sure, but part of me is nervous to stop.   Has anyone else felt that way who has completed this year of Interferon…….

                    Brian~  Wow! you are really not far behind..I too can't wait to done, but am having mixed emotions.  My "new normal" I have maneuvered my way around it.  I almost feel like interferon is a safety net.  My side effects seem to be stronger this last month.  My blood pressure with the IV drip the first month went sky high, I do not have high blood pressure so they put me on Blood Pressure meds for a while, maybe 3 mths or so.  My hair has fallen out but not all of it, I have lost 20lbs, but do eat.  Very dry eyes…and of course the chills,achy, no energy at all, just want to sleep.  I did get a cough back in April, so bad, it lasted over a month and they did put me on Zpack but that did not work.  I now still cough but only in the morning and I have never smoked and do not have allergies  Heres to better days…..you are almost there.  All the best!.

                                Mary~  Thanks so much for the encouragement….I have mixed feelings right at this point.  I am very anxious to start to feel normal but anxious about stopping, sort of a safety net this interferon.  They say "you are not going to believe how great your going to feel, once off of the shots"
