Yes Spring is sprung in more ways than one!
I am not going to waste this second chance, that’s for sure.
It’s a bit like living life in reverse, being semi invalided through out your youth and then suddenly healthy in middle age.
I did learn a lot from the struggle to survive…it’s like the arrow, needs to be drawn backwards before it can shoot forward at velocity.
I got SVR12 recently too
And I feel like a brand new flying fox…ready to fly and feast on the fruit of the future.
Awesome feeling now…I think it was at 8 or 9 weeks post tx I started feeling really good. The after effects were worse than the side effects, which is strange, but it’s all been worth it. I had minimal liver damage and good LFTs for the last 15 years (out of 30 infected), but I still feel so much better now in so many ways, it’s hard to know where to start.
It’s a terrible crime that people who need these drugs aren’t getting them ASAP and kudos to you guys for working so hard to change that. <3
Thanks guys…I’m sorry I got stressed…it’s just been a bit of a rough ride since tx finished.
A lot of what I believed to be improvements were actually sx of the DAAs. The good sides departed quickly and the bad ones linger on.
I’m actively investigating issues that may be contributing, and Dr Freeman has been kind enough to order me all sorts of blood tests.
My prescribing doc was not interested in doing any such investigations and looked quite offended when I reported sides. None of her other patients had any sides!
I’ve given up on her now. Specialists of course are distant creatures…benevolent at best, and clueless really. But it’s all in hand.
I have come across quite a lot of people who suffer more afterwards than during tx, so it’s a thing. And it’s easier to handle when you know that. I found tx itself handleable, including the bizarre rashes, which at least weren’t itchy.
And I’m freaking undetected at 6 weeks post, so there’s that
Thanks GT2 , I’d be curious to know what people use, but over the years I’ve found topical stuff is hopeless for rashes caused by liver toxins. Eating Turmeric paste helps and I have to admit, I was driven to that in the last two days. I think it will be gone pretty soon anyway.
Basically I’ll be taking Ashwagandha, Astragalus and Chanca Piedra. All of which I’ve used before with good effect. They are mild and helpful herbs. I’m no masochist and have learned the hard way to stay well clear of extracts etc.I have heard Sof/Dac is a much easier combo. I wish now I’d taken that instead. But it hasn’t been *that* bad.
I do feel better in many ways, especially quality of sleep. Really looking forward to clearing the last of the toxins so I can enjoy the new clear day
Wow! Thats very interesting!
Gum problems is me, thats for sure.
I’d appreciate any links you might have to this issue.
It certainly is a big downside

Thanks again though, for the heads up.
