Most of the blood results are normal. I had the same results before tx. Alt slightly down from 48 in June to 44.

VL result next week.

Still experience shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness and skin problems. Didn't sleep OK for the last 2 nights and tired in the morning, tried o smash my alarm clock in the morning. :-)

Thank you all for your support/advice. Oatmeal soap arrived today, will try later on and see if it works. :-)

That is great.

I was doing some gentle exercises tonight and steam bath to clear my chest.

Hopefully will sleep at night.

Day 10.
Eczema is still really bad. Managed to see dermatologist today, who prescribed stronger steroid creams and antibiotics, clarithromycin. On the drug comparison site said that there could be interaction. I just wonder if I m ok to take one tablet in the evening, as I take Twinvir in the morning.

Twinvir (Sof/Led) does not interact with clarithromycin so that will be fine:

You can check here: www.hep-druginteractions.org/checker

And the result is attached:

YMMV

Hi Dan,
Maybe you could try just the cream first and hopefully that will do the trick without the tablets?

I know where I was going wrong. I was reading key to symbols and at the top it says they can't be taken. Silly me :-).

Got to be careful with bad eczema, that it doesn't get infected. Another reason to bathe with a drop of pure lavender oil before applying creams. Either way, make sure skin is very clean before putting cream on.

Glad to hear you're feeling a little brighter Dan.

It is strange how each day feels different. Today I'm so shattered, feel dizzy, shaking and BB slightly low 125/70. At night my left arm was keep getting numb.

I didn't have easy start, although I wasn't feeling that great before tx.

I will see how it goes possiblity until 4 weeks, if no UND, I might get Indian/Nepal generics.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way I think you're over thinking this way too much I've
never heard of anyone starting a new treatment before the first one stops.

You're seriously suggesting if you're not UD at four weeks changing drugs may be the right course of action?

I don't know anyone professional or layman who would agree with what you're suggesting.

I've read your thread, I think many of your symptoms are nothing to do with Hep C or the treatment
you're on. I think, you're spending way too much time thinking about your disease and not allowing
yourself the time to get well........

I'm gonna go a step further and suggest you should think about finding someone to talk about your anxiety
the way you're presenting is of concern,I mean that in the kindest possible way.

I'm not trying to be mean or have a go at you I find your posts a little worrying.

PS. I don't think going to your clinic and withholding you're on treatment is the best course of action either you're
attending clinic having bloods done without them knowing you're on treatment. If you're on treatment you need to
be honest and tell them. Why lie, what have you too gain ,what do you intend saying when your bloods come back
and have changed? They have a duty of care too you regardless of your choice.

I take your points and agree that I'm possibly over thinking.

I didn't lie to the hospital, just decided not to tell them. The reason for that is, when I mentioned generics, the consultant told me that they don't monitor patients on generics and adviced to go private.Why tell something, if you already got No.

The next appointment to see my consultant is early March in the mean time I am going to see my GP on the 21 st and tell him about my treatment and ask for bloods, which will be at 4 weeks.

Hey Dan,

I'm quite sure I've read of people still being detected (though very low levels of course) at EOT, but attaining UND after that. I wouldn't worry in the slightest about not being undetected at the 4 WK mark.
