Sounds like all your ducks are in a row!

I’ll bet you will be UND at 4 weeks

I have a great GI at the top liver center in the state. When I told her I was taking generic APIs and compounding them myself, she asked if I would still allow her to monitor my tx. She must be related to Dr. Freeman. They could offer some other docs a professional development course in compassionate care.

Anyway, she said I should test at 4 week intervals until the virus was UND. Then, get the “big one” at 12 weeks post tx. She also said I could test at shorter intervals if it made me feel better. She is 3 hours away, so my GP orders the tests and sends them to her.
It is so simple. Why do some doctors make it so hard?
Good Luck!
I like the day by day report!

You are right,
My first GI’s nurse was just plain mean. Wrote me an email when I requested a copy of my medical records be sent to my new heptologist. The note went like this: “we are aware you are seeking care elsewhere after all we have done for you….”
They told me I wasn’t very sick and could wait a few years until the price of tx came down.
That’s what they did for me.

No.
Before tx, I had constant dyspepsia. I got to the point I could eat no meat or any type of fats. I lost 50 lbs in 18 months and wasn’t obese to start with. Violent hiccups and and feeling so bloated I couldn’t sleep. It was horrible. The most bland foods would trigger it, so I just was afraid to eat anything. I would plan to eat one day, knowing I wouldn’t be able to sleep, then fast the next so I could get some rest. Not good. No medicine would help. Endoscopies and colonoscopies showed nothing abnormal. My liver was just not able to handle its digestive duties. Ten days into tx, boom, it stopped. I can eat anything.
The extreme fatigue and insomnia are simply gone. I’m sure a lot of that was stress related, but that didn’t make it less real. I couldn’t stand knowing what the virus was doing in my body and knowing there was an effective cure, but one so expensive it would change all my plans for the future if I had to pay a $100,000 to get it.
The chronic joint and muscle pain is gone. My doctor said no NSAIDS after my diagnosis. Now, I don’t need them.
I was seldom without some type of infection. Sinus, ear, lungs, throat. As soon as one would clear, another would start. Cold and sore throat all the time. None now.
Numb feet and hands.
And a senile, forgetful mental state that was getting worse and worse.
Basically, I was simply existing in a very unpleasant manner.
Put the rage I felt toward Gilead, the government and my insurance company on top, and you have a really messed up person on your hands.
IT IS ALL GONE!
Now, I am doing everything I can to help anyone I can avoid the hell that I went through.
You asked for it.
Now you know.
Life is good.
I’ve just got some catching up to do.
I’ve already started and I’m enjoying the hell out of every minute of it.

Yep,
Every dose is a weapon of mass destruction as far as those pesky little strands if RNA are concerned. The meds are neutralizing the stragglers now. Time to change out those razors, clippers and tooth brushes!
That kind v/l results makes me want to howl for you!

Hi C,
