Thanks ladies. Yes - it did scare the crap out of me and to be honest, I still don't feel like I was that sick. Unfortunately every time I shove that damned needle into my gut though it reminds me of how lucky I am! Many things to be thankful for and now I have loads of time to show my gratitude to those that care about me.

I'll check out the thread you mentioned. Yes - Chantrix will be my drug of choice. Supposed to be the best thing going - I'll let you know!
