    Even the strongest of us need a hug sometimes.

    It’s not about the receptors but the signaling (or lack of) from the receptors.

    Your other links about studies into the harmful effects of marijuana use all cite daily, heavy or high potency users. They are valid in that context but less so with regard to the contributors to this thread who from my reading don’t appear to be heavy ‘stoners’, at least these days. ;) Instead mostly they appear to be people investigating and discussing the above issue in the context of their health and/or the use of social vices in a manner that will be least damaging to their livers both pre and post HCV treatment. Everything we do in life is subject to a risk/benefit analysis whether we recognise it or not.

    (I wasn’t even going to be in this thread, but accept any kind intentions)

    Thank you Gaj.
    And this is where I personally got kinda stumped at the lengthy post naming myself and linking my anxiety (which I believe is best managed with my GP and psych and myself and my integrity) peppered with multiple citations about heavy use of marijuana when I have never profiled as such a person. To use this for a few months occasionally when in and out of hospital because of interferon does not concern me in the slightest. I was thankful for the relief albeit rather late in that tx and I was really past it by then anyway and yes that was…4 years ago. I must say, as a School teacher I would have lost my job and been deregistered if I used that during my 24+ years of service. But then I was diagnosed with HepC…oh and that interferon I wasn’t wanting to think about again…. I think this thread is really not about me. I think my stress or whatever you wish to call it is as I said, best managed by my medicos and self, and definitely NOT the product of a occasional relief from loo hugging. Yes water is good. Surfing is good. Sport is excellent. I am a sport junkie. I have drunk enough to get a camel across the Simpson. I leave this thread with that.

    Being named in it out of the blue has not pleased me at all. It is quite scary actually, after all if I did try to go back to teaching now and my real identity could be traced I would be stuffed over an incident during peginf in despair. I was not in the thread. I’m interested in being well. Thanks, Ariel.

    Hi there all
    Wasn’t gonna engage with this thread but replying to Price
    Weed was not a drug that I needed or interested me during DAA tx
    It helped a lot when a kind breast cancer survivor friend gave me some ONCE during peginf when I was toilet hugging :) that was in 2012. Fortunately with a healthy lifestyle I am F0.
    My anxiety and PTSD are not induced by marijuana use, I had a poor experience with peginf and won’t devulge too much on a public forum because I respect others may be triggered by the details of how it went and the ongoing legacies, but thanks very much for thinking of me. I use doctors medicine. I also see a psych and she is super fab. You know the best thing? I’m open about my anxiety I acknowledge it and communicate and seek ongoing support. If I didn’t do these things I would be stupid. I’m about living a happy useful life and rebuilding the damage that was done.
    :)

    EDIT: post number #15345 had my name plonked in the middle of it with asterisks. It has been removed by the writer since! Hence the unusual look of this thread now. Thankyou for your understanding new members who might be reading. Kind regards from Ariel.

    Ahhhhh those good days.
    I had my bloods pulled at 9am for SVR4
    I feel so released and I think this song sums it up. Because I don’t really have any control over the results but I also realised I am not concerned once the job was done. It’s a no brainier and hey…. In the words of a golden haired domestic goddess from a bygone era…
