Hoping for a good result Chejai
Can’t believe how fast time moves!
Good post about the sx they’re all there yep and come and go willy nilly
I am hanging out to get to Brisvegas meet up with my best buddy drive down to Snapper and hit up the waves there we stay at Kirra it’s so pretty I love that part of the coast it has the best surf I think
looking forward to your results good luck
Love from Ariel
Thanks Chejai and GAJ
I backed this up with a visit to my GP today and he said nah all good no dramas
He wrote a new VL and LFT etc path up yes including the AST because he also suspected I am probably clear by now maybe just a few fragments
He praised my progress and the team here
The <30 is a bit ambiguous when the test is for the 30-10000000 assay so I asked for a different lab and he wrote it up we are not even bothering to network in to my liver clinic the result its for me this one.
Will pop in on Monday and get this done that is our end of week 5 Chejai!
I'm putting on curves again and feel brighter in all parts of my wellness
All the feedback is basically the meds are working and my results are okay
We talked about my deafness it's been a massive issue since peg/inf so I am referred to an audiation specialist!
How are your sx now Chejai?
I'm not nearly as tired as I was a few days ago
Hoping the humidity up there has not been too vile too xxxxx

ArielThe momentum won’t stop because of the integrity of the people helping us I truly think that they will find ways around this absolutely shocking announcement
This is a kick in the gut a big one liken it to a stallion kick
I can’t imagine the stress for Greg and all at FixHepC but we do know he is one hell of a mover and shaker and right on the back of big pharma and his passion is gonna keep going and I think that there will be doors that open for him to continue helping the hundreds a week that must be coming to this place for tx
Mesochem isn’t shutting off import is it? so that’s a fantastic avenue to get tx
Just do it now don’t wait people
I’m so thankful to these guys who have helped me be my own boss. This means more than ever get your meds now I feel.
I hope this makes sense to people thinking about tx
Go for it

ick:' /> Thanks Dr James
The test performed on me at Day 25 says measured in the assay range 30-100000000 and I came back as <30 but the doctor yesterday at the liver clinic called it "still detected" not UND yet?I'm at week 5 now and have 7 to go with no liver damage and this first blood result is therefore good.
So my next path sheet handed to me is for the same clinic and the same requests
Does this mean it's always going to just come back <30 I am confused?Or does this test somehow show up UND?
I'm attaching a screenshot of yesterday's result.
Thankyou James for this awesome medicine and your assistance with understanding this report

Nasty. Yukky
Feeling for you
The mix of sx you have are the sides plus this bug YUK!
Yes I still have tinitus so related to the dizzy part
Sinus grotty on and off a bit of a cough just superficial at the start but nothing like you are having
I’m also ticked off about the lack of bedside manner LG
I never am asked about how I feel at the Liver Clinic
It is always such a quick and impersonal visit
Having a chest infection on tx would be no fun in fact with my anxiety issues I would not handle that well so please vent away and get cyber hugs here from me
I did check on antibiotics before tx and yes they are okay I was worried about all interactions and did a “just in case” check with my GP
I like my GP
He is absolutely lovely thank goodness
I’m popping into see him this week because I have night nausea now. We’re both mid tx now woot woot
How is the London weather lovely? Those short days and cold drizzling vistas can’t be helping
And are your nuets down a bit? Mine are low end normal so I am not going near anyone who is crook
I’m totes paranoid!
Pats advice is mine too
Big fluffy dressing gown, blankies, fluffy socks and a heater on
I would also have a baseball bat to fend off any callers but that’s just me when I am sick I like to be alone and not bothered by anyone else at all

Feel better soon please xxxxxxxx
ArielThis has been a FANTASTIC early morning read
I’m loving Bloots image
Reefer in hand and a beer are you chillaxing or what! And the honesty about lifestyle and knowing people who have died
I’m in this group because I too have lost friends or their dads have died already
Just depends what era their band was ie the 60’s like my friends dads or the late 70’s to 80s like my friends
Me, I don’t do anything like booze or reefers but it sounds like a lovely evenings relaxation for sure.
Well this little entry has nothing to do with the topic post tx on DAAs but I read the blogs here
I don’t think I will ever drink again I haven’t drunk a drop in around seven years and I don’t really like the smell anymore it puts me right off
Post this tx I am going straight to Queensland to surf with my bestie
Not many ladies my age surf so we stick together and I can’t wait to get up north and surf Snapper Rocks again with my buddy
As to heading down to Nimbin nope too old now lol and I’m a health fanatic actually!
My drug of choice is the waves but I did love the image of Bloot great writing
I saw a silk smoking jacket, feet up and a big grin

Thanks Life Jaz LG and GAJ and friends
I forgot to mention
The other question was: “Have you missed any pills”
ick:' /> 
Yup
Do you drink and have you missed any pills
Gotta love that bedside manner.
Thanks for your information Life that is interesting to read and I was thinking it’s probably almost gone maybe just a few fragments left so we are on the same wavelength
Thanks for having a look at my bloods friends they seem pretty okay to me too.
I’m up early
Is anyone else mid tx having night nausea and waking early from same?
Sinuses are a tad blocked so a slight headache but I can go to the sea to sort that luckily
My granuloma is starting to subside
The granuloma has been really aggressive at times like wow! The most obvious legacy is some loss of colour on the sides of my neck but the actual red rings are defs subsiding and I am off predisolone for the first time in years Yew !Thanks for the props
No AST done
These are all the tests GAJ
Re the alcohol question I thought it was really strange
Maybe the GGT is at the higher end of normal ? It’s 30 and the normal range is 0-38 but I don’t really know LGI don’t like Dr Google so I don’t want to think about the GGT because I know it can be a sign of drinking
Still it was a weird question yeah
I think that they just sometimes like to check that we are looking after ourselves I hope!
Clinic was Like a circus of characters
One fun guy faced off the no personality rules when he was asked to weigh in he walked back and yelled out to the nurse locum 250kgs!!!
I was wetting! I said did you include your motor bike! He was soooo fun of course he weighed around 100kg in his leathers, a big biker but he was a great anxiety breaker in the room
There were a fair few really unwell people today one on a hospital trolley one in a wheelchair
Always reminds me how lucky I am the illness hasn’t done anything worse to my lil body it’s amazing that people have been left for so long
I wonder about triage of the new meds here in Oz on the PBS Hmmm as I have said before ve vill see
In the meantime I will keep throwing down bottle after bottle of gin NOT!
Oh dear! I even wore a smart frock etc to do that dumb psyching out stigma stuff and had the Blue (Aqua) Book
If anyone has any reason they can see in my bloods that is a worry just let me know but I reckon I am on track

Ariel and I added a pic of tonight’s sunsetAlmost there isaing I am <30 down from 240,000 approx so I think next time UND fins are crossed!
I'm looking to join the UND school of fish as cool as a dish asap 
Ariel xThanks CC yup first blood came back almost there I am <30 so a few meanies to nuke still
Not surprised because I was pumped with peg/inf despite being F0 before I knew anything much about this illness and I bet there are some sneaky ones with big muscles that need a little extra blast
I'm hoping next time all sorted
Thanks for asking
How are you going now? PS had kidney stones post peg/inf argh yukky
Mucho paino!
Hugs
ArielHey CC from another tx buddy I am in Week 5 and hopefully headed in the right direction too
Wishing you a smooth ride to SVR
love from ArielI hope this is good
I was 240,000 units b4 tx
The bloods were done at Day 25
My liver is F0 she said
Here are my results
I’m in Week 5 of 12 weeks sof/led
Comments please friends
PS she asked if I drink??? I have not drunk anything for so around seven years??
My next bloods are written for week 8, in three weeks
Is this good stuff I think it should be isn’t the 4 week mentality a hangover from peg/inf days
Signed
Would love to be UND
Bring it on pleaseSaved from ongoing anxiety and trauma indeed Chejai, I won’t look back but yes indeed and Thankyou for your heartfelt kindness.
I didn’t sleep last night much. The night terrors actually started on peg/inf and never left so are easily triggered and I know that now so I am kind to myself.I’m leaving for the hour and a half drive to the Hospital to hopefully get my first bloods back this morning
That’s why the anxiety
Fingers and fins crossed here
Will let y’all know how I go
I’m taking my new blue book btw
Love to all
Ariel
