You should see a doctor about the ankle swelling.

I have a handful of patients who have developed fluid retention on treatment initiation.

It can be treated with diuretics but should not be ignored. It can progress to ascites.

Please check in with a doctor.
YMMV

Yes Darbara, you should check with a doctor.


Indeed, Twinvir affected my sleep only the first day, then the sleep has been ok

darbara,

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!!!.

For the past couple of days I've had lots of cakes and biscuits. I hope that it won't have a negative impact bon my tx.

I wanted to check, why do we need to take the tablets for 12 weeks, if the virus disappears in the blood after 2 weeks?

We kill off the easy to get to virus in the first few weeks but the reall challenge is knocking the ones out that reside in hard to get to places in our bodies. Scar tissue for instance is hard to get to which is why the longer treatment times for cirhotics and relapsers.

Thanks Paul and Joy.

Dr Freeman explained it very well. I'll see what my 4 weekly VL result will show after New Year and might order 4 additional weeks, just in case. I have F1-2 fibroscan score and a bit extra treatment will not hurt.

Day 27.
Went for a blood test today, will get the results next week.

My dizziness got worse, today spent most of the day on the sofa. The room doesn't spin around, but when I start to move, I feel like on the rocking boat.
