Dead hands
(Preview)
Has anyone had a weird sensation of dead and painful hands after tx? I can't really straighten them and they feel as if I've been sitting on them for hours. My doc says it's because of the drugs but my nurse says no. I want to get it sorted asap as I am finding it difficult to write and type. Hope you are al...

It worked :) PCR <12 and liver function is really good. I think I'm in shock. I thought it had come back because before tx I had dry patches on hands and feet where the skin peeled off. During tx this stopped but started again after finishing tx. I want to thank all of you here for your support. With...

A long day in hospital.........................
(Preview)
I had my post tx appointment at the hospital today, and was expecting the same 4 to 5 hours of tests, scans and x-rays I had just before starting tx. French hospitals are nothing if not thorough! I got there at 8am, and didn't escape until 6.30pm. Good news first, the fibroscan test showed a big drop in the...

I went back and reread all the posts on Dori's thread. It became obvious, to me, Dori and I have different opinions in regards to herbal supplements. Obviously I clearly stated my opinons and still stick to them. However to make the insulting and abusive remarks I did to belittle her opinions was uncal...

Keeping an Open Mind.
(Preview)
It makes me sad that this forum is sometimes not a place for sharing and listening to other peoples experiences with an open mind. We are a very diverse group from around the world, all with different experiences of HepC and its treatment. I don't always agree with what other people post, or expect the...

Tomorrow I go in for annual physical and blood-draw. Part of the draw is focused at VL. Nervous tonight and finding it hard to concentrate. I don't know why I'm so shook-up, it'll be 2 weeks before I know the results. Though it's a couple weeks early, this is suppose to be my 3 month check to see if I'm still...
