Good for you Mary1982,

So glad you saw the doc, got it sorted. Back on track! Now you know what you have to do. Isn't easy is it?, but, parts of this WILL get easier I am betting (on you). Keep pulling! And rest in between! Canuck

Hey Yall,

Just wanted to point out that this post by Golf 1967 was written last March 2015. Unfortunately we haven't heard from Steve since that time. I'm going to be hopeful that no news from him regarding relapse, means treatment was successful. Maybe he'll check in and share his post treatment news.

PS: Jimmy, what's "brian fog"? Is that a new name, lol?

Congratulations Golf! I hear ya on the side effects. I quit my job because of them. But I do take it with Ribavirin. I can get a new job when its over. My health is more important than any job. I hope you are undetected and stay that way!

Very well done, Golf, you`re almost at the finishing line!

If you were also taking ribarvirin you`d expect to have sx like brain fog and irritability but Vievira Pak even without riba does seem to have this effect on some people, unfortunately.  Not very pleasant I agree, I remember it only too well from when I was on tx!

Not long now and you`ll be starting the recovery process, bet you can`t wait!

Best of luck with your EOT results!

WOOHOOO!!! Congrats! It's almost here!


P.S. I am still surprised about the cognitive effects, irritability, etc. Have you tried reporting them to AbbVie?
