Hi Beaches
Gaining weight has been a good thing for me. I have had a rough trot with peginf tx leaving skinny legacy and this is the first time in four years that I have successfully overcome that issue. I was truly skeletal from that tx and despite effort such as sport, growing my own food, taking ensure plus when urgent, eating no sugar, no true appetite suppressant foods, no alcohol and doing yoga etc focusing on weight gain through solid balanced diet, rebuilding muscle deteroriated completely by peginf I was never truly “hungry”, and had to force myself to eat. It was like an induced anorexic state that I had to mindfully fight off, all part of my peginf ride. During that regime I often vomited more than a dozen times in a day. In hospital they worked hard to fatten me a bit so I could get home again.
So now I am astonished at my appetite it’s returning. Somedays I am absolutely starving no matter how much I eat!!!
illy:' /> I hope it’s a sign of a future full SVR and at present I have external stress in my personal life so that’s going to be a good indication of the appetite trigger of these DAAs
I’m not really up with this as a general sx for all patients but for me it’s a godsend. At clinic they ask if I had any nausea! Hardly, more like pass the food now thanks
We are all different here, and so my happiness over my weight gain is just a personal anecdote, a sign things are working. That’s what is clear about these meds, everyone seems to present with different sx at various times, some have none, but the common thing is that they work and almost everyone is cured. Most people report good progress in many life areas. I think that taking away the anxiety of living with hepC is going to be the best feeling I have had in a long time and I can see the good outcome now. Thanks to this team at FixHepC
Looking back before I got my meds it’s a different place and I don’t want to go back there. We are so blessed to have access to treatment that really works.
Sending love

I hope you get through your move okay. I helped move my elder daughter last week and had the younger in and out of hospital it can all seem overload sometimes cant it. At the end of it all I visualise you plonked in new digs surrounded by boxes and stuff. Time for a takeout meal lo!
Yay! EOT is approaching!
Don’t worry you are a fast responder too, almost 5 weeks UND! And you had little liver fibrosis F1-F2!
Happy EOT and only UND!
I wish you and your daughters all the best!

I’m doing fine around 19 days to go I think
I had bloods done again yesterday by my GP
YES the previous UND was taken at Day 32Just to say no I have never been F1-2
I’m 5.6 Kpa last time which is F0
I don’t want to be written up as F1-2 never have been.
Highest ever reading was 6.0 which is F0-1
Here are the charts but it is in my signature the correct and most generous F score even allows for my highest reading
ArielNot an F2
never been one or an F1-2.

Reading the sinus thread here
I had vile sinuses for years too
Salt water is my medicine I go to the ocean.
During this tx I had revolting sinuses especially around weeks 2-8
When surfing they would clear well, so well it was at barfing level haha gross!
The combination of salt water immersion of the body and increased aerobic activity worked a charm. I still had those fluey feelings some mention here FF and you are just starting but your idea about swimming is great
Even when tired I just paddled for even a quick 30 mins and it truly helped the sinus issues from progressing.
Mike I also look forward to no more damned sinus probs now virus free. Oh and picking up any cold virus a student brings along if I bother to return to my day job. I’m still pondering that one
Cheers
Sniff sniff
