I remember my brothers pulling this out of the album jacket, and laughing and loving It. I’m sure they were turning on, tuning in and dropping out. Just like Timothy Leary said in the 1960’s. Then Bob Dylan wrote a greatsong in’67, then Jimi Hendrix rerecorded it and put it out in late 1968, my brother were doing acid and playing Hendrix every day. I remember all that. I didn’t do acid but I certainly enjoyed the music.
Enjoy…..

You crushed it, what great accomplishment! Woohoo frign hoo!

Very good reading thank you all.

Here is my take on the HCV psyche after treatment.
I remember one of my posts to another fixhepc member who had just passed SVR 12 and was determined to be cured or very well on their way to it.
I said “enjoy your life you have achieved the ultimate goal” or something like that is what I tried to convey through a post.
The return response was not good and I ended up editing my response and apologizing, we have since moved on and really are good.
My point is once you’re cured it is like “ok your good, take care”! This is a huge change of situations and yes it is good, but after I just spent the last 10 years trying to control my HCV and watching all my brothers die of HCV associated issues, I was like “ok I think I’m good, now what do I do”?
The sudden change of situations, in 6 months, very much affected me in a way that I am still trying to iron out. I set up everything for my wife, so she could live a normal and good life after I was gone. I did this for 10 straight years. Now they say your ok, and it is time for me to move on? What the hell!
The mental part of being cured of a disease that has a stigma is that the stigma out weighs the right to spread the good news about your cure, is 100% mind bending to say the least. In fact the only one I could tell was my wife and trying to contain my enthusiasm amoung coworkers & friends is weird and very debilitating.
So since I was “cured” I have been going through this, how do I act and what the hell do I do now? Yes yes yes I know I need to be grateful, I am. But it is still very confusing trying to live a normal life after going through death rituals for 10 years.
So this is a wake up call that mental therapy is very much needed for those “too” after successful treatment. After all I’d imagine if you asked a few SVR people they may agree after thinking they have planned to die or be debilitated by this disease they are now “good to go”, they’d possibly agree with this scenario.
Note: please keep in mind that those whom are going through therapy for this frign disease, we are all with you 1000% and if there is anything we can do we’ll be here for you. This is just the possible side affects after SVR 12 and beyond: after being told “your good to go now have a great life”
All the while having to keep it secret. Hmmmm, interesting indeed.
Thanks for listening.

Greetings:
As noted by a major source of HCV information, in which could be biased as they sell natural liver products made to help regenerate the liver.

The natural path has told me that after a course of Harvoni the liver is unable to regenerate as before. The course of action is to assist the liver with supplements to aid in its progress.
Such as milk thistle, magnesium, a liver formula that helps remove inflammation, selenium, Vit D and a one a day vitiamin. He also believes in the active ingredient in blue berrys? Not sure. These along with plenty of water to flush the system up to 26 weeks after EOT and the liver should start to regenerate. I am a taker of some supplements and whether it is a placebo effect I am starting to feel more in control of my health, with plenty left to do.
Thx
