I’m not sure LG, but hope someone comes along shortly with some advise.
But I do hope you don’t get too ill, hope your symptoms improve soon.
xo
And really hope you are feeling better soon!
Thanks Dan , Although I don’t fancy more constipation
I have the dizzy thing today, woke up, room was spinning, bored to tears by it – very restricting.
Sneezing has stopped as soon as it started, but flu-like mild fever and chesty cough are still ongoing.
I don’t know what could be sx and what could be fighting off some bug,
there’s a lot of it about. I also have the lower back pain that got me diagnosed, so maybe a bit of both,
Either way it’s very frustrating after ‘bouncing around with so much renewed energy for the past 4 weeks.
Oh well, at least I’m not missing any nice weather
How are you doing?
Thanks Dan
Talking of vertigo (if that’s what it is) – There’s supposed to be this movement some Drs can do , head left turn over head right that can get rid of it – I was reading about it today, must look it up and post the link, you never know hey? They say it’s an inbalance in the ear, which is interesting, because we get Tinnitus too – Probably not related at all, but will see if I can find it.
Hi guys, Woke up this morning and feel like crap
Headache, mild fever, the worst is the eye ache, sinus, sore throat, painful neck, sore throat & chesty cough & shivery. This here thing is not going away . I guess I must have picked something up. It’s like a flu. Strange that it’s taken so long to get to flu level, been building up for nearly a week. Got to drag myself out of bed to hospital for an USound in the cold, don’t feel like moving! Seeing GP tomorrow who wants to decide if it’s a virus or an infection.Just wondering, when side effects are mentioned as ‘ mild flu-like symptoms’ if this could be sides, would that include cough?
or have I just got the flu. Hard to know, but after feeling so good for the first 4 weeks, I’m pretty fed up!Hope my lovely fix hepc friends are doing better
Hi LG,
Sorry to hear that you are under the weather. It doesn’t sound like sides with the cough and stuff so I think you may have flu or whatever bug is going around over there now.
For antibiotics if necessary, just take a link to http://www.hep-druginteractions.org/checker to your GP with you. Either on a phone or print out the link on paper.
Get well soon!

Hi LG
The sides that I experienced were headaches, painful neck maybe slight temp. I didn’t have shivers or any of the other symptoms that you describe. It’s so unsettling when things go a little awry but I am sure you will have it sorted very soon. I wish you a speedy recovery.
The sides that I experienced were headaches, painful neck maybe slight temp.
Yes, got all that, maybe I have a nasty cold, plus some sx – That would explain the ‘up and down’ thing.
Spoke to the lovely Dr Debasis at MonkMed this morning, he’s very nice, I wish we had him in the UK!
I asked him if he had any advise for ‘helping myself’ and he said ‘ try to do things that make you happy’
It’s a pity I have to work later, or I’d follow his advise Iie in bed with a good movie / book and some pancakes Really, these meds have me craving carbs with nasty white flour which I never usually go near!Went out to hospital for an Ultrasound this morning, there was a consultant and a (I think, ) junior Dr, the junior Dr was very keen to prove herself, during the test she said to the consultant ‘are those varices’
hmy: Then she asked me if I had had any operations (no) .(suggesting scarring maybe?)So I waited until the end and asked if everything looked ok, the consultant said ‘yes, everything is fine’ and I said ‘No varices then’?
They both looked uncomfortable, but the consultant said ‘It’s hard to see clearly on ultrasound, but all looks like it’s working fine and therefore doesn’t suggest any varices to me and there’s no cirrhosis’.Maybe a lesson for the juinior Dr – With HepC patients who have had so little medical support, we do read and share alot and whereas we are not medics, I believe we know much more than patients (out of need if nothing else) with other conditions, so please be careful what you say in front of us? A casual comment can cause alarm. Anyway, fingers crossed, they were being truthful and all is well.

I made changes and slowed my busy life down. I feel much better for it in all ways.
