Hello, in Sydney mozzie season is fading but a few have been activated by the warm weather. I find they hate air turbulence and a small fan aimed at my head a short distance away works well. Deet for bedtime protection sounds awful, the other standby is a mosquito net !! To watch TV, inside in general – they are not attracted to light colours and I have some old long socks as I my ankles feet seem to be fave targets.

thanks for laugh out loud from a ‘clear’ little old lady…huh !

Thanks for an after midnight loud laugh !

Hello, I am 4 days after EOT and I am fairly itchy , in ears scalp …also have had toe tinea crop up . I have had it before but ever only left foot just between a few toes – this time both feet and this morning very severe pain in toes woke me up at 6am. I googled like crazy for more clues to cure it and my itchy dry feeling skin, for feet alternating cream and tea tree oil. Vinegar rinse and hair dryer drying, 1/2 cotton balls between the toes to keep the area dry. That rash hates a dry environment. My mum used to rub between toes with metho and then talcum powder – a home prevention I should have copied. But seeing this post and Dr James’ I thought what I have might be connected to the meds. 5 months is a long time after the meds and I am sorry to hear about your experience. I am buying a large bottle of apple cider vinegar and using it, diluted as an after shower rinse all over, not using soap, getting epsom salts to mix with sea salt for the bath or foot bath. The vinegar changes the ph of the skin. My immune system needs a rebuild now…
Hope the rash has gone !

I’ve been off tea and coffee the whole time and still am, trying to not anger the reflux dragon. Slept propped up with pillows and googled ‘low reflux diet, low GERD…etc somewhat helped and trust my peppy acid gave the meds a boost to work. I used Gaviscon (regular Aniseed flavour) when necessary – used about 2/3rds of a 500ml bottle over the 12 weeks. I am hoping to stay off the PPI’s !

Thanks Mike for being a constant help. Congratulations and
I celebrated end of 12 weeks of pills with a white wine, much enjoyed and a light ale…I don’t know whether to test viral load now and again in 12 weeks or just wait the next 12 weeks and get it done. I was nil at 4 weeks.

My next issue is getting the poor old organ as good as it can be again, detoxing from the meds – anyone try saunas? and apparently milk thistle is a terrific help in all things liver.
Gratitude to all on here !

thanks for reply – after 4 weeks am now UND or zero seen by path !! hooray
