Congrats to you on those numbers, Skewed! (...congrats on those muscles too!!)
Great to hear how well you`re doing post treatment and hopefully the bouts of depression will ease off soon. Exercise, fresh air and sunshine certainly do help so just keep doing what you`re doing, you`re looking very well on it.
I`m glad you`re having your heart flutters monitored by a cardiologist anyway, and let`s hope that`s another thing that will resolve itself in time.
Thanks for sharing your news, enjoy being free from Hep C!

Hi Greg,
The cardiologist wants to put me on beta blockers, but they can actually cause heart flutters. He is basically clueless just like most doctors--except for Malcolm :)
I believe that this too shall pass!
Cheers,

Way to go Skewed! Awesome news. Congratulations!! What does your doctor say about the heart flutter? Maybe you're spending too much time at the beach lol?

Hey Skewed (no more),
You're looking great and the fresh air and exercise are obviously agreeing with you. With numbers like that you've got nothing to worry about. Congratulations!

Congrats skewed.
With an ALT of 8, you don't need a VL. All is quiet on the liver front.
Wow, are they muscles? I used to have some of them.
Enjoy life. Cheers.

Well, I did not have a viral load test but my ALT was 8 and my AST was 15 and nothing came back abnormal. I still have an occasional heart flutter, but nothing like when I was on treatment. I've started lifting dumbbells and gained 25 lbs and I'm not having any joint issues. My brain is sharp and my energy level is good. I guess I'll just have to live with those occasional heart-flutters which seem to be the worse side effect besides being a little more depressed than I used to be, but exercise and sunshine helps with the occasional depression that seems to come in bouts (I was never depressed before--or maybe I was just too sick to realize I was depressed before treatment LOL!)
