Great stuff Greg!

I am so glad to hear you are moving ahead with life and having some fun. As I am sure you know, the journey is as important as the destination.  Enjoy it all

I too would LOVE to know your secret for combating fatigue. I'm almost 9 months post tx and fatigue is my new nickname.

I would love to know the fatigue secret too! That is awesome that you are going back to school--ive been dreaming of getting my doctorate a lot lately--for me it would be after treatment--feel I've waited long enough. I hope your biopsy gives you good news and you can get through those 3 semesters!!!

Peace!

Good to hear from you Greg. Glad you're doing well. Just thinking, maybe if you can wait til you're done with school they might have some new drugs out that are given for shorter duration...I don't know.

Have fun with school ! :wink:

Okay, since everyone is asking so I will share. My Dr suggested to me to try a supplement called Co-Q-10. I take 200mg 2 times a day on his suggestion, not only does it help with my fatigue it seems to help me sleep better. Ask your Dr before starting any supplement. If he tells you to take it then find a good quality source(not Wal-Mart) to purchase it from.

Congrats Greginky. By the way, just to let you know greginky sent me tons of information about Co-Q-10 and it is great. Take it myself, but haven't kept a steady supply like I should. My dr likes it as well as it helps with several health issues (hope doug doesn't read this).

Hey G!  How about you cross that bridge when you get to it --the path of least resistance!  Besides, if this Lamba stuff I'm on works you may want to wait.  No sides except for some crankiness  :devil: for me .  A little tired but, they're saying coffee is good (in moderation, of course).  I think of you.  ScaredyCat

Yikes! Did 24 wk clinical trial with Lambda Interferon. UND at week 12 & 24. Relapsed after one month. No VL test at weeks 4 & 8. I would get myself tested at week 4 and 8 next time I treat if the doc doesn't order it.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for sharing your little energy helper tidbit - I'm going to try some.  Would have gotten it at Walmart though  :ahhh:
 Is there any reliable info available on what  a good source of COQ10 is?
Hope your classes are going well, take good care  :heart:
