Manky feeling right in the back of my throat/ sinuses that I can tell would evolve into an infection

I hear you FF Mine turned into a chest infection, (UK weather didn’t help, too cold to go out) took me weeks to get rid of it with anti-biotics unfortunately. It had an extremely strong chemical / woody earthy taste and I did wonder if I was regurgitating the Led at one point, it used to get worse around 4 hrs after taking my pill, then I read that Ledipasvir takes four – four 1/2 hrs to ‘reach its peak’ . So either it was ‘coming back up’, eliminating via sinus, nose ie gunk! or just ‘making itself known’ – I guess we’ll never know, but glad someone else has noticed this. Sinusitis is listed on Gilead’s Canadian sx list btw

ps there can also br an ‘allergic’ element to sinusitis as you probably know, Dr advised anti-histmamine that doesn’t interfere with meds, I took it opposite end of the day for a few days, helped finally clear it up along with a natural saline solution nose spray.

Thanx, I tried all that, peppermint tea etc The 100% natural saline solution worked the best. like you would build up at night in my throat too, really, it was so strong ! I have no tonsils to stop it going lower. Walking / fresh air would help, but unfortunately I got this during the coldest spell here and was told to avoid cold air. Alot better now thankfully, can sense it , but negligible, but it lasted around 4 weeks or more.

ps I am usually a user of bicarb, but Couldn’t remember if I read somewhere if should avoid with meds? So avoid using it too much apart from other end of the day to meds ie bed time in toothpaste.

Ah no tonsils…that wouldn’t help…and that damn weather. It would probably do me in too. I am hopeless with the cold…I think thats another Hep symptom.

There’s no doubt in my mind now that a lot of my teeth and gum problems and head congestion were caused by the virus.

Totally agree, my teeth & gums have improved on tx.

Re cold, what can I say ” I hear ya” ! I wish I had waited for warmer weather now, so I could get out and walk more. Thankfully it’s improved a little now, at least some sun! but still way too cold for me.

Okay, I’ll err on the side of caution. I don’t want to have to do this again!
You guys have given me a very good education in tx management
I still have a coffee in the morning..only one though…and I’ve been taking my meds much later, at 1pm.
I try not to drink too much liquid around them, though I do sometimes have a light lunch after. I find a bit a food after meds makes me feel less spacey and vacant.

There is a strong emotional and dare I say it, psychoactive element to these meds. It’s a very strange experience!

Apple Cider Vinegar increases stomach acid I’m told. (with mother)
I’ve been putting it in my water.

I have, for the past decade, had 3-4 sinus infections during the winter months, all requiring potent antibiotic tx. In addition, 2 years ago, a chronic prostatic infection was added to the mix. The past year involved some really nasty staph in the adenoids. This winter: nothing. No infections.

I have a low Kpa too Ken and only had twinges early on
Interesting point to note, I surf and I always felt a swelling in my upper abdomen when lying down to paddle and just thought it was the way I was made but NO!! It’s gone. It went in the first three weeks accompanied at night with a ton of sweating which I blogged on my thread I think.
So yes you probably are right because I don’t have liver pain anymore and that upper tummy is flat there’s no strange feeling of a one sidedness anymore
I noticed it when it went away I hadn’t really taken it in as a big deal like I said I thought it was just how my body was made!
Bit off topic from the fatigue question but interesting issue re liver twinges you raised thought I would pop my two bobs worth in as an F0 type of person
