Hi joy2world,

Congratulations on starting your treatment. It’s great to hear that you have no side effects. I have just started 14 days isolation after arriving back from Europe yesterday so I understand the worry of it all. I suspect when my 14 days is up everyone will be on tighter restrictions. I feel well and after getting rid of Hep C a few years ago (through fixHepC) I would be pretty unhappy about picking up another virus.

I’m not sure about the increased risk factor but sounds like you are doing your best to isolate yourself and your family to keep yourself well. Good luck with the rest of your treatment.

Hi Sven,

I’m so sorry to hear about your beautiful Beau. It just hurts. My kelpie has been with me through all of the ups and downs – I know what you mean about the happiness that they bring.

Hi Barry666,

Thanks for sharing the article about the Taranaki cemetery. It must have been a lot of work but it looks beautiful. Those results look pretty good too.

Hi G,

I do know from personal experience how hard it is to wait for results but today you are taking the last of your medication – so congratulations on this milestone. I used to view the waiting for results as part of the whole treatment regime. It didn’t mean that I wasn’t impatient and a bit anxious but I tried to put it into the bigger picture of the cure.

Hep C messes with our mental and emotional selves as much as our physical health. No need to apologise on its’ behalf! It’s a rollercoaster G but I hope this next bit is a smoother ride for you.

Hi Cherr1985,

I”m catching up on some posts and just read your messages. I also remember what it was like to wait for the medication and then to finally start treatment. It looks like you will be about one week in by now so I hope everything is going well. 2020 looks set to be a great Hep C free year for you.

Best wishes

Coral

Hi Cherr1985 and welcome,

Well done on finding this site which has helped so many people cure themselves of Hep C, including me. I remember my medication arrived very quickly (within a week) but as Mar said it can be a little longer depending on where you are.

Good luck with getting started. There’s a lot of information on this site but just ask away if you have any questions.

Hi Jerry,

I can see you are about a week into your treatment. Some of us had side effects (especially the delightful insomnia thing) and a lot of people had minimal or none. I wish you the latter over the next weeks but either way it will all be worth it when you have vanquished the virus.

Wishing you well. Drinks lots of water, eat well, a bit of exercise and take every single pill……

Hi Caravan1990,

It’s good to hear that you are on the pathway to seeking treatment. Keep pushing forward with the aim of getting the medication and curing yourself of Hep C.

Brain fog is very common for those of us that had/have Hep C. You will see from my profile that I had the virus for a long time and have been cured for a few years now, through Dr James and this site.

Caravan 1990 we know exactly how you are feeling. I have experienced all that you have with the brain fog. In the few years before I finally found the treatment through fixHepc my ability to focus decreased along with my confidence in my own abilities and intellect. I had quite a high level and demanding job and found that everything, especially decision making, was starting to take longer. The fog became heavier with fatigue and what I now recognise as some depression. I hid it all pretty well but it was certainly there and it was very frustrating and confusing.

I can guarantee that when you cure yourself of Hep C the fog will gradually start to lift and your clarity of thought will return. You can start to feel benefits as the medication kicks in but for me the improvements were gradual but continual until I finally felt like my “old self”. Or rather a “new old self” with a greater appreciation for my good fortune and my health.

We’re with you on this so let us know how you are travelling. Looking forward to reading that you are starting your treatment.
