Going out at night and actually wanting to see people Yes! Business too, Regain the energy to 'want' to work, with enthusiasm! I also hear you re the skinny thing, I have had comments about how 'lucky' I am to have the 'perfect figure' ( I have not been 'lucky' re my weight, my muscles were so weakened they would not suuport my joints, All normal female curves lost, I felt weak and very thin all the time and yep Ariel, cold, even in warm weather. Was disguising my weight-loss with lots of layers. This is not the 'perfect figure in my opinion, it is the figure of an ill person and who the hell is STILL promoting this as an ideal in the media? - It took me a very long time to gain 2kgs and I had to start eating non liver-friendly food to gain this. Bad cholestorol went up a bit, but I just knew I had to gain some weight pre-tx. Being this skinny is due to malabsorption and malnutrition - Not an effort to have a 'good' figure. - End Good luck with the public hospital Ariel - I changed mine I was so distressed at the way I was spoken to last visit. My consultant actually lied to ne and my GP twice stating I had no liver damage and forgetting that my fibroscan resukts were on file and indeed on the same letter at the top! Why?! (oops more ranting) Having said all that, I am currently in very good spirits he he Keep on keeping on Big from Ms Zippety-dooh-dah Edit : Hi Chejai, I guess this virus can mess with the metabolism either way.

| Hey Life Thanks Zhuk and more Ariel, do you have GP nearby to check your BP every now & then? I ask GP/nurse to take mine every time I see either if them. Have tried taking my own at the surgery, but it's always v high that way, but ok wit nurse, so have decided it's the wrong size for little ol' me.

Thanks LG Today is Day 7 Noticed less sleep last night. I'm going through a family member passing over just now so a bit of overload. Enough of that on here I am alone at the moment however. My main gripe re tx is my banger of a headache which wakes me at random times of the night I'm managing it with panadiene forte on script and lots of fluids, I have two water bottles lined up on my bedside table ready each night. Apart from that I notice my gums are tender and my teeth a tad sensitive. Not much to complain about. I hear of increased sensitivity to sun while on this can anyone help me on that.

Hi Ariel, I'm on Sof/Dac rather than Sof/Led so take that into account. A keen angler I have been getting out in the sun a bit lately. Always with covering and sunscreen but have been out for several hours on some very bright days without any issues. I wear sunnies for most of that time but do notice my eyes seemed to be a little more sensitive than usual. Perhaps time your sessions to avoid periods of highest UV? So early or late in day, and keep them short? Keep well and know we are here if you want to chat.

Thanks for sharing your symptoms/experience Ariel. I too had noticed that my eyes have been really sensitive to the sun, they water constantly and burn. Even indoors my eyes are having more trouble focussing and burning around the rims. Just started having tinnitus on/off past couple of days - I know others have mentioned that too. Sorry, to hear of your loss Ariel Haha, the ducks!

Hey Em nice to see you here Busy day for me I wound up being evacuated from a local bushfire Guess what I grabbed to take when I left the property? My meds! I even forgot my iPhone cord but grabbed my pills and bolted like a brumby on heat The fire was 4km away when the first CFA alert came through it said "too late stay in the house" etc Ahh. No thanks I bolted! Off to the beach and a friends until the fire was contained! What a day!
