Hey!  I am almost 4 months post treatment and like Alan said...my skin is still dry and nails brittle but my hair is growing back! :)  I didnt feel too bad before treatment but the drugs took a toll on me.  I feel back to my normal self now and started to feel that way about a month after treatment....from there I felt better and better every day :)

something to look forward to!

aloha,

Meghan

I think I actually feel a little better now than I did before treatment began. And it continues to improve. My hair is still thin, and my skin is still dry, and my nails are still brittle, but I can ride my bike farther, up steeper hills, than I ever could before. BTW, I am twelve weeks out of the Incivek triple.

I am 22 weeks post. The energy is as normal as I can remember. It came back fairly quickly. Like Scout, I am on a positive track right now. There are a couple of things that seem worse since tx, mainly tinitus and thin hair, but don't know if its really worse or if I am just more observant these days and don't remember what normal was. Getting rid of hep didn't solve all my preexisting problems.

I'm approx 3 months post treatment and my energy level has improved. Not 100% but it's all relative. I'm on a positive track, workouts, yoga, meditation and good food. I just do what is good for me and the results are out of my hands. Moving forward.

I was wondering that too. It seems energy should come back.

Hi there,

In short - YES! If you eradicate the virus and have no serious liver damage, you should be just fine. If you like to learn more, please shoot your story. Forum folks will be happy to guide you. Cheers!
