Hi Ariel,

I have been trying to PM you but it doesn’t seem to be working.
I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong?!

Can you message me please?

maybe I can answer that?

Thanks,
Cindi xo

Hi Ariel,
I haven’t logged on for quite a while, but decided to see how everyone’s going.
Firstly, glad you’re SVR 24 wks.

I can relate to how you feel tired & the tinnitus thing, I also suffer from these since my last horrible Interfirin tx,
I’m sure it caused me many post tx symptoms.

Because you had the IFN tx, if you had hep B it probably would have cured it , the tx, as that happened to me.
It’s easy to check with a blood test, but I bet you’re OK, but for peace of mind maybe best to just check?

The loud screeching in the ears is bad, it got worse since taking my son J to see Black Sabbath!! hmy:
But you can kind of get used to it.

I went to a specialist about it & there’s no real cure unfortunately, but he did recommend Yoga! also if you can afford it, sometimes special hearing aids can help, as he said it’s caused form hearing loss.
Also “white music” when trying to go to sleep helps divert the mind from it, he recommended.

Nobody understands how exhausted I feel most of the time….although my young J IS 16, so a bit of a handful.
One day I dream of getting out of the City with its noise & stress, & hiding away in a relaxing environment….lush rainforests & beaches come to mind….

But yes, I agree, the IFN tx did leave it’s mark on all of us who went through those tx times.

So I understand how you feel Ariel, I really do, it’s not fair. That bloody IFN tx was a real bugger.

If it’d help at all, PM me & I’ll send you my number , sometimes it helps just to chat to someone else who understands.
I’m just in Sydney so not too far away?

Sending hugs,
Love Cindi x

Oh sorry to hear this, I thought the orals worked well on the geno1’s ?? hmy:

Not good news, but Dr.James will work out a plan for you.
Don’t despair.

Good luck,

Cindi x

Yeah, I was wondering that also.

Wondering if I need to get J tested again.

He was clear on his 12 week VL.

ah Gaj,
What a sad thing to hear, I’ve been offline for quite a while, just logged on & saw this, really sorry .

I know you’re so strong, & don’t let things faze you much, you were always there for me & J when he was treating, thank you so much for that.
Keep up that strong attitude, you’ll beat this.

The different oral drugs being developed now , makes that hope pretty real now

I’m going to log in more often to see how you go.
Good luck my friend.

Love Cindi x

Thanks Meg, liked that
