Wow, thanks everyone for such wonderful words of encouragement and support! I'm really blown away by your replies
Hey I'm with you Enkel - no idea how I lasted this long with the stats I have either...sheer luck of the draw I guess! Particularly years of high stress due to PTSD and other issues which you would think might knock your immune system for six. I never touched alcohol until about 2009 but I'm sure others have also been abstinent and not as lucky...I just count my blessings on that score.
But yeah I'm definitely ready to lay waste to this rotten virus, before it gets a chance to build any head of steam up in the future. Can feel "something" going on in my liver (those movements/twitches I've had before) so obviously things are kicking in. Thanks GAJ re the bilirubin, the reference range (at least according to Hanly Moir heh) is 3-15 so its well in there.
Looking forward to seeing those numbers fall in the coming weeks too! I'm heartened by all your responses guys, and awesome videos cheers 2b and Paul - much appreciated
