Two years ago, I was about to embark on my treatment. I was a wreck, emotionally. The anxiety was awful even though the paxil had helped some.
One year ago, I was about to find out if I had achieved SVR (sustained virological response). I was definitely feeling better (no depression or fatigue), but was probably a little anxious about the upcoming blood test. Well, I did get SVR and continued to have a wonderful, healthy year.
This year, I find myself savoring everyday and truly appreciating my health and enjoying my family. I have a new job that gets me out of the house and it's physically demanding. I love it that I'm able to do the job, realizing that during treatment, it would have been impossible. I feel so blessed and content right now. Truly, the best Christmas present.
So, no matter where you are on your journey, take care. Merry Christmas to you and yours and may you enjoy good health in the year to come.

Good thing Paxil somehow helped you with your anxiety. Be aware though of its withdrawal symptoms and side effects which may affect you. Take care!
