Thanks Greedfighter , I have been seeing these people since I found out back in 2005 . I usually only saw them once a year for my annual blood test , and when I tried out that nasty interferon, incivic crap that almost killed me. That doctor learns a lot from these forums . I had a VL test in the end of Feb , which was undectected . But I would like another one and a fibroscan too ! I’ll shoot for Sept. I’m just glad to be alive another day to be with my wife and daughter and see what God’s got in store for the day !!!! Today is the present so lets open up the gift and see what’s in it !!!

Well another blood test , I have had a nasty flu or whatever is going around , I still need to train these jokers as I told them to do a viral load and a fibroscan but no they just did a Hep panel it all looks good but the Billirubin is up a little 2.0 last time 1.5 , I need to talk to the doc again to get the VL and Fibroscan done while I still have insurance , don’t know what’s going to happen here in the states with insurance . If I don’t have it , it will be cheaper for me to have it done in another country . Humm sounds like a good excuse to leave for a warmer climate this winter .

Thanks beahavan , It’s good we post these little side effects so others know what to expect and the doctors and others , well together we can figure out what to do .

I have been getting a little more energy all the time ( can work almost 4 hrs at a time , was down to 1 hr then needed rest ) only thing I have going on is BAD ringing in the ears still ( never had it before ,hearing very sensitive ) and man I have never had allergies like this , but that’s ( for me ) a small price to pay to be rid of Hep-C !!!! Hopefully time will make those symptoms less. I had to go to the doctors to get a blood test because my daughter got mono , poor girl , she told me I know what you were going through now dad , she had to go to the hospital for 3 days . anyway my blood test looks great only thing high still is Bilirubin at 1.5 ( I’ll take it ) AST 16 Alt 7 and I was feeling pretty bad some virus or maybe these allergies , I still won’t take any medicine for headaches or allergies because for over ten years , you know my thinking Oh those will hurt my liver , funny how we get locked in to that huh !!! next month will be that 12 week test and I will talk to the doctor about the ringing in the ears and the allergies and I will take some medicine if so needed. OH 1 thing good about this ( for my wife ) I play guitar and I can’t turn it up cause it hurts my ears now LOL !!!

Thanks everyone !!! Latest blood test in and BAM !!!!!! Nada , Gone My doctor is very excited, but sad thing is I know he can’t say anything to other people he treats about how to get the meds they need and not waiting around to get sick then get treated because of cost. I speak up and out ALL the time about Hep-C especially when people are say 50 yrs + I ask hey you ever been tested for Hep-C and it usually starts a good conversation or ends quick, but I know I need to speak out , even more so now so others will know . The Best is yet to come !!!

Almost forgot, My levels have always been on the low side, but that last blood test ( I was 9 days into treatment ) My viral load was a million something and in 9 days it went to 500 so should be undetected now I will try to post this I should know tomorrow.

Doing good on the meds !!! Some days have the flu like and headaches and other’s great . I could list all the foods I eat and amount of fluids and all I take is the meds. I drink about a gallon of water through out the day and night but I have added PH up to my water ( and now Im going to jinx it lol !) and that has helped greatly with the headaches and I eat well no nausea !!!! Awesome cause I have had BAD nausea for years !!!! Good bye to that !!! another day and alot to be greatful for. If you ever feel down and out , remember you were the strongest sperm !!!
