    I am confused…I was just grazing the internet, despite knowing that can be a risk, and MedicineNet.com stated that ‘achieving an SVR is NOT a CURE” !!!!!!! Pardon? …please can I have medical feedback. I thought an SVR meant cured. I am so confused, how can achieving an SVR not equate to a cure? Is this a lexical semantic or what….comments please :)

    I am terrified of Nail spas. I worked in SE Asia in the early 80’s and had regular mani pedi and they often clipped my cuticles so close I bled. Those spas are everywhere these days what sort of regulations are there and how stringent are they…I have been doing my own nails since diagnosis out of respect for others. Thanks for the info about hairdressing etc.

    I feel like this is becoming a tribute station gosh it is crazy how many Rockers in their 60’s ish age group are passing over, this was Alzheimers I think, Mott The Hoople Drummer Dave Griffin Rest in Peace…my fave was Once Bitten Twice Shy (thinking peg/inf haha!) and then this next song is on point for we Tx music devotees…Roll Away the Stone
    Thanks to FixhepC that stone is being rolled away :woohoo: :woohoo:

    Vale Glenn Frey, there’s one less vacant room at The Hotel California folks, Bowie is playing nightman as DJ, Stevie Wright is swilling pink champagne on ice, and Natalie Cole is dancin in the courtyard with those pretty boys she calls friends….like the song says

    “We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
    And in the master’s chambers,
    They gathered for the feast
    They stab it with their steely knives,
    But they just can’t kill the beast”

    But we CAN and we ARE

    Fire is downgraded now. The funniest part was racing into the local pharmacy and asking for an ice cooler because the meds need to be kept cool.

    Hi isaing4 Thankyou for your really great data in your blog and your questions they are very helpful to many people incl myself here on only Day 8. I know of a few people who have done all extra six weeks
    I also hear that some are still detected at 4 weeks but clear later on
    It seems that the aim of achieving an SVR isn’t tightly linked to the four weeks result to my thinking
    Wishing us all our SVR hang in there all
    Cheers from Ariel PS sorry for the late reading of your story I am relatively new to the forum #flower

    I have often thought that research should be collated re Womens Hormonal health and the virus. Well this is the starting place isn’t it.
    So far just in our small collective we report miscarriage (very traumatic and significant) early births, hair issues, sudden menopause, early menopause and we haven’t started on the effects of the virus on our complexion and body skin.

    Some people are still taking riba with the new DAAs and those of us who have done Riba may have tips for coping with the rash if anyone out there is toughing out riba rash some of us could share just ask #love

    Yes ladies a valid blog very interesting
    I’m now also completely paranoid of manicure and pedicure spa shops which we all know are everywhere these days.
    I mean what regulations are there on sterilisation?
    I have popped this blog into my favourites ty xxxx

    Hi Ariel

    Small world and so good to see you here and getting the treatment that you require. Good luck with your first week and welcome to some new found energy. You will blitz this tx in comparison to your last attempt. Godspeed and good health oo Em

    Hey Em nice to see you here
    Busy day for me I wound up being evacuated from a local bushfire
    Guess what I grabbed to take when I left the property?
    My meds! I even forgot my iPhone cord but grabbed my pills and bolted like a brumby on heat
    The fire was 4km away when the first CFA alert came through it said “too late stay in the house” etc
    Ahh. No thanks I bolted! Off to the beach and a friends until the fire was contained! What a day!
    Cheers Em
    Ariel :P

    Hear hear Tina
    I reckon I was aged around 85 while on that poison x
    Yup disgusting stuff so glad I have been able to rebuild a lot of the damage it was hard work to recover as best I could I lost my career to that stuff but I see that as an opportunity to reinvent myself :) in a better way too :+1:
    I wonder how people cope even on riba with the new DAAs it gave me a hideous rash of sores all over my upper body soooo gross!
    Anyway I don’t want to frighten anyone
    Sorry if that was too much info
    Hugs

    Hi Coral I lost 2/3 of my hair on peg/inf so I might be able to help
    I’m using macadamia oil massage on my scalp to enrich the quality of my skin up there and stimulate the follicles
    My hair has grown back beautifully since peg/inf but I am aware that dryness is a possible sx of these new tx
    I’m obsessed with maintaining my mane since last disaster I had to buy a full set of super expensive clip in hair to be able to perform (musician) the hair is now in my drawer hahahaaa. Because I am now paranoid I am already massaging macadamia oil into my scalp and ends just in case!
    I hear apricot kernel oil is awesome too
    If desperate and you start thinning use a very expensive but worth it range of shampoo and conditioner called Nioxin xxxx
    I hope your hair stays as best as possible
    Love from Ariel xx

    Hi girls hi Tina
    I haven’t had a cycle since the first peg/inf they just disappeared and never came back
    I don’t know if I had menopause because I was too sick from that tx to really tell.
    Before peg/inf I was okay but I suspect peri-menopausal
    I have two adult children I wonder if hepC brings on early change of life because my friends were not having their cycle all over the place like mine was for a few years before I was diagnosed then the peg/inf/riba just nuked whatever was left anyway
    I’m never going to do any hormone replacement either it’s way too dangerous I think because of my family history of BC
    Did anyone else find that peg/inf nuked whatever youthjuice they had too?
    Good topic
    :+1: #flower
