On day 4 today and no side effects yet. Drinking lots of water and keeping my multivitamin and Omega 3 and Zinc tab 12 hours on either side of the tx. Doctor was contacted for 4 week blood work and my family doctor and the MD at the liver center are deciding who will manage the treatment.

4 more pills left for the first 4 weeks and no side effects so far. I have 2 alarms set for 7PM and all doses have been taken within an hour of this time. I’ve tripled my water intake and the initial weight loss has stabilized (13 Lbs in the first 2 weeks). I have my referral for my 4 week blood work due on the 19th. Quantitative RNA /Ferritin levels / CBC . No AST for this one but I will get that for my EOT bloodwork. Much higher energy levels and no compulsory naps after work.

I am using disposable razors now and 3 days tops and they get trashed , tooth brush for the last four weeks is a pack of 20 cheapie ones pitched after 3 days of use as well. My main brush (Sonic Care is sorely missed and I bought new brush heads for it when I finally get to use it again.). L-Arginine and L_Lysine intake is through natural source only (red meat , fish and chicken) Just in case. No energy drinks and no supplements except Centrum 50+ , Omega 3 , 50 mg zinc and 1000 IU of D3 12 hours away from the dose.

No results less than 5 weeks before testing in Canada because of a monopoly on testing that a single lab paid the government for 3 years ago. No testing except if you have an actively infected partner or jump through hoops to force them to. I will have to go to the US at EOT to get the final test done so I can get my answer before fall. A little disgusted with the Canadian health system at the moment. 1 year wait times for treatment after a 6 month wait after testing. Add a 2 month wait time for testing to make testing all but useless for during treatment progress. I will give the results once I get them back , not holding my breath for the Canadian system to wake up any time soon.
