Daook, I became very sensitive to my body (and mind) while on tx. I became aware of every little ache, wheeze, heartbeat, or anything else that seemed just a little out of whack or that I just hadn't noticed before. A few positives, but mostly the negatives. I think the smart thing is to bring it up with your doctor. May be just indigestion or something else not so trivial. I'm a lousy doctor and a worse patent when I'm treating myself. That's why I had undiagnosed Hep C for 30+ years even though there were signs. BTW, I'm an engineer, not a doctor.

Phil- I hear ya. Personally, I think your a pretty good doctor. :)

Actually, right now I feel pretty good (strange?). I just darted so tomorrow will be another story.

I wanted to try and make a local football game tomorrow . Last week it didn't happen. We shall see. :(

Lab report from yesterday

1st lab after 22 days on 3x treatment- viral load from 11,000,000 to 64. I really needed to see that! Good response to meds. Dr. wants undetected by next 2 week visit.

Also, red blood count at 12.5 - all looks good.

 

I'm always tired and rash has started on right side of stomach just like it started 9 years ago- weird stuff!

I hope this is encouragement for anyone who needs to see positive news. :):)

 

 thumbsup.gif very encouraging.. thank for sharing MJ

Not sure what`s causing that, Daook, apart from a bit of indigestion maybe...make sure you take all your pills with food, and that includes the Ribavirin. 

These meds can cause all sorts of strange sensations, hope it clears up soon!  smile  Jill xx

No pain, just like an axiety lump or gas build up or something. I'ts almost like when you think you may not have swallowed something all the way down your throat.

Other than that problem my body just perculates inside all day. Powerful drugs.

Great to hear your news, Daook and Ken, you`re both doing very well!  smile

What do you mean, Daook, by a lump in your chest?  Does it feel painful when you breathe?

All best, Jill xx

All you people are wonderful! Thank you. 

I got a nice shot of adrenaline on the way home from the Dr (along with a bag of doritos). 

To Ken, Packerfan- GREAT NEWS! Me and you are in a horse race. Wife is doing a jig as well. haha!

 

Doe anyone know what to do about the lump in my chest I can't get rid of. I tried everything. It comes and goes.

:)
