Hi Doxner
I read your blog it’s honest and raw and I like it and yes the first few weeks were a bit testing I recall but that’s the tx doing it’s job as most of us quickly find because this stuff works darned fast on a high percentage of people.
I will be excited to follow your progress to cure and reading your story
Sending you happy splashes for a great outcome
Love from Ariel

Hopefully this new drug is available asap and G3s can get into a higher percentage cure cohort and not have to do such long tx and have the worry of possible relapse. The new drug sounds very promising
Wishing all cured, everyone.
It’s worth the long fight to be free. I’m feeling it one year after starting sofled as a scared skinny sick relapser who is miraculously cured after five years of hell. I wasn’t G3 but I have experienced relapse and I care. And as to meds? This site is the go to for the most credible up to date support.

Thanks AK123
Yep same here
First hit of the poison = No more period
Don’t know what menopause is like because of peginf riba tx.
How could we know when all we did was vomit lose weight lose our hair get covered in bleeding sores and lose our short term memory and feel suicidal from a toxic poison that we were told would save our lives but destroyed them permanently. I get asked about menopause and I have no idea it I ever had symptoms because of all the other stuff being so very severe. From peginf.
Nice legacy of permanent bone pain too eh? Grrr.
There’s more but anyway I’m just living now and the DAAs worked and I am HCV free.
I’m doing life in ten minute bites at a time that’s my way of setting small goals and achieving what I need to do, including taking respite at least once a week from my responsibilities.
It’s too hard to explain it all isn’t it
Sending hugs
Ariel

Thanks Fitz for your affirmation

So stoked for you getting SVR12

Dear Coral
Thank you for sharing your treatment updates and congratulations on reaching halfway through and the riba. I send you condolences for your loss of your dad as a daddy’s girl I feel deep pain over loss for a daughter of her father. My own died 11 years ago but it still feels like yesterday. Pat1 lost her dear dad during her tx it’s somewhere in the maze of forum posts and I know it was tough. You are one strong woman facing up to retreating and family loss. The courage you take forward will be forever and that’s something not many people have. I think people who have fought this illness hard are really amazing in many ways, learning to ride out bad news, rejoicing in good news, uplifting others, reading insightfully between the written or spoken words to the heart of the real person. I’m sure serious illness across all types has a profound effect on most people who have walked in our shoes and it’s only good. Affirmation of the strength it takes is so important.
Sending love and huge splashes of happies on your halfway mark, and look forward to your updates Coral
