Hi Jeff
Yes sorry for the in your face post but I am an honest talker and don’t sugar coat stuff unless it’s to protect others from being hurt and this was worrying me. I’m actually starting to be able to talk more openly about the legacy of the whole thing but specifically the peginf damage to my overall life.
You have my empathy doing a second round of DAAs you know that I am sure.
I experienced relapse after a really rough peginf riba myself and well, it wasn’t pretty let’s say.
I’m building a new life yes, I have found I have no choice. Sink or swim and some days are just stay afloat. Personality comes into play, I am naturally hard on myself and also desensitised to medical stuff generally but lately have a heightened sense of foreboding, I think that you are possibly correct in that being unwell for a long time takes a time to get past.
Family I have are friends who know about what happened (only a few people) and my daughters that’s it. I’m grateful for FHC forum
It’s supported me and others greatly.
Today I sell a surfboard, in around half an hour it’s going. I still have another one.
Then I can pay a bill.
I am also resigning myself to this type of stuff for a while but also know that at least I own resources to dip into.
My heart is with those who have nothing behind them
At least I have worked, educated my kids and can sell off stuff until a security comes back into my life.
Regarding your tx I am sending you peace and hope for cure.
Thankyou to all the people who have rsvp to my post
Hanging in
Change is hard when it’s constant for over five years it’s tiring but I am trying my darnedest to rebuild.
Sending lots of loving splashes to everyone affected by HCV

Hello forum
Reporting in after SVR24 etc a while back because I have an important query
Now that’s in my past and I have stepped back and re-evaluated my situation after losing my professional career to interferon after the patching up post cure such as $3,500 on teeth that were perfect pre peginf, having all scans and colonoscopy etc blah blah I have realised how much money this has cost me and I am forced to sell my home.

So:

I’m also now extremely tired again in phases
I’m not in a reinfection risk cohort
I’m not a drinker or druggie as a person here once pinned on me very vindictively.

I’m a regular mum and white collar.
Recently I started feeling very tired again
I’m better than before cure but not like a regular person

I’m absolutely positive that peginf has stuffed me up.
The deafness is unbelievable
I suffer such loud tinnitus 24/7 it’s like several dog whistles all at once at high decibels it never stops
I still suffer anxiety
My shoulders feel like concrete
I do transcendental meditation which I have practiced for 25 years
I do yoga

I have had periods of emotional feelings since SVR that are most peculiar and unexplained

I hope I haven’t got Hep B
I read on here that Harvoni causes hepB !!!!!!!! I want the truth about it please.
I was immunused it came with my professional role. But how do I know if I had had HepB before as I was never tested? I did have a medical procedure in a third world country in the late 80s remember and I got HepC that way they think so how would I know nobody ever checked me.

What are the symptoms?

SO I have been immunised for Hep B but IF I did have it before that and cleared it spontaneously could I have it now?

I would appreciate a straight up answer to this query so I can request a blood test if needed. I will NOT be having one “for my peace of mind” or any other histrionic reason only if this is a real risk a proven risk and my post here is considered respectfully.
Thank you for your consideration of my query.
Wishing all well
Ariel
