Been a while since I've shared. 24 days into led/sof. THANK YOU M! Just got labs back and my ALT (SGPT) P5P -23. Alanine Amino Trans dropped-18. Waiting on viral load results. Normal liver function!
Last week I had major joint pain. Knees and hips. I attributed it me stopping my daily workout because of headaches. Had a dull headache last Sunday that progressed to an almost migraine level for 3 days. In that time an old hand injury ached and my joints were stiff. Maybe because of my sleep schedule, I can't seem to get more than 4 hours of sleep at a time. My dreams are absolutely CRAZY! It's not too bad but it would be nice to get a good rest in.
All in all I feel like anew man. I can't fully describe it but I feel like the weight of the world is off my chest. I'm sure it's all in my head but a part of me feels like my body is no longer at battle. Maybe TMI, but my urine is normal with no foul smell. Sorry for that gross detail but I wanted to share if anyone else had that result.
For the first time in so many years I am looking forward. I always assumed I would die before my time so I stopped looking and planning to for the future. Even if this treatment didn't work, I think the act of fighting for myself gave me new life. It's SO IMPORTANT! I feel like I am worth something again. It still kills me inside to think of all those that feel like they will never get cured because of their economic status. Hope is the best drug! I want everyone to feel it.
Thank you M and thank you fixhepc. If I hadn't stumbled across this forum I would still be hopeless. I wish I was better with words to describe how greatly I appreciate this new hope.
Sorry for the wall of text, just keep fighting!
