I gave in my prescription today :D

Hey Matt,

Wow, yeah, I must be, or near on. I was surprised to see even Zlikster beat me to the finish line - happy for everyone though! I don't mind getting the bronze medal as long as I get one! I think after my run in with old TX there is nothing that can phase me. I look forward to the day that I never have to walk into my Doctors office again as a patient. Now that is something to look forward to - she is lovely though. :D I hope life is treating you grand!

Thanks Shadow fax,

On my first TX I reacted fast and badly to the therapy, and the addition of needles made it a very hard experience for me. I have since got over my fear of needles - Well not panicking at least, as I wanted to do I.V.F which was also a lot of needles. In general, since I seemed in one way or another to have been up that hospital far more than I'd care to be. I'm feeling liberated to get this done and free myself. I may even try I.V.F again once I've cleared. For me this is a beautiful moment in time that signifies almost being reborn. It sounds romantic and silly, but I had to wait another 2 years to get these medications and short of having my mouth sewn up and my limbs ripped off, those pills are going in! :P

I'm sorry to hear you are sensitive to these meds, but the body does adjust. THese are beautiful pharmaceuticals created especially for us, now that is a perfect gift. :D x

Good morning everyone,

 

The first pills are in with a giant muffin and a gallon of water. I am officially on the train. I feel so excited now, I can't believe in 12 weeks this is the end of what seems an eternal journey. :D

Thank you for the lovely messages, without the addition of Riba, this is going to be so simple compared to the old therapy.

Awww how fab, I can change my sig-line, thanks Dave, its official now! :P x

 

 

I just saw this! Excellent and glad you are on your way to good health. You probably won't have any problems at all that you won't just shrug off. I didn't and I am super sensitive to medications. After the first few days, it will be Meh, this is nothing.

I am so glad you finally started. Be well

Hey Lisa

Super congrats on starting treatment, you have been one of the longest member that been seeking treatment and a true survivor waiting patiently or maybe not, but now is your time and you will soon say my favorite saying.

"When I used to have Hep-C"  

From here out its all about staying compliant getting good rest and clean food.

Hope today has been a good day, with no surprises. Don't forget to keep the water bottle by your side, all day long!


 Thanks Ragdoll, its a breeze :P

Hi Tig, nothing really to write home about. Heart rate is slightly higher, and a little dry mouth, apart from that, nothing at all. I don't feel anything tbh. All is good on this front, beginning to visit the loo a lot, water logged!  :D

I am almost ready to write my EOT+4 weeks update for you, over there! biggrin C.


 Hey Canuck,

My HCV riddled brain skipped that important piece of info! I am going to read your bio now - does that make me an internet stalker lol? ;) Oh, how exciting, I can't wait to hear your update, I think you're very brave for doing a trail, or though they have had fab. results beyond all our expectations! It is paving a path for all future folk wanting to cure as much as us. :D

I will head over to that thread now and take a good look!

I hope the sun is giving you as much pleasure as it is me. :D x

Thank you Canuck,

I think it is a good time for people to treat, and before we know it, Hep C will become another historical disease like so many in the past.

I can imagine you have some reservations as you are waiting on a trial, but these drugs are proving again and again to be so effective, with little side affects compared to the olden days, you'll be next! :D. I think perspective certainly is the key. I am not worried even if I do get minor side effects tbh, I know in 12 weeks I am rid of this monster in my veins and what could be better than that - Ok, death by chocolate cake (fudge/chocolate) sounds almost as good! :P

I just read the  thread "Need your advice" about the poor guy who is going through transplant liver rejection. There is nothing scary about treating compared to what could happen. I hope by sharing our positive stories, it will help people take the next step as there are so many afraid of pharmaceuticals. I genuinely feel great, nothing has happened apart from taking some pills and I got some new boots :P

The sun is shining and its officially summer - Feeling blessed. :D x

Lovely Lisa,

IT IS a lovely day! - the sun HAS finally come! - what a wonderful day it is!!! DAY ONE! First pill past the lips. ahh. You so deserve all the nice things that ARE going to follow, and we too are lucky (we all get to enjoy it, right along with you). It IS a very happy day.

I saw you approach this day with as much excitement, hope and relief as I did when I approached Day One - maybe more!! Except ... unlike me, you armed yourself, very well, with much good positivity than I was able to muster!!

I really appreciate your attitude, it counts for much! This will be so rewarding for you (and us). Happy day!

Now, I'll say, this really IS the best way to celebrate the start of your summer solstice!

smile C.

Thanks guys and gals,

Nothing to report apart from the sound of dying virus particles, well unless my lunch menu is interesting! ;)

I love it Robertmx, they will be no more, the army is advancing with the strongest war cry, and the sword is already winning! :P

I was treated though to some lovely leather boots I had my eye on from the hubby. Remind me to take advantage of this before it ends! ;) :P

   A--No, She has amassed an army of warriors, hepcfriends,all batteling along side her.

   Q--The Dragon doesn't stand a chance dose it?

   A--No, fortunately her sword is the best weapon available today to kill the beast!

Awesome news Lisa. There is no feeling like clearing this bugger dragon once and for all. You've got a life changing summer ahead of you, and you'll sail right through it like a summer breeze. I've had nothing but positive things happen to me since clearing. Feeling better, stronger and just so darn happy! Keep that train a Rollin' ... Xo

 Thanks Wim, it is sooo easy 12 weeks, I really can't complain about anything. I've stocked up on flavoured mineral water, just a dash of taste. TBH its so warm anyway, it wont take much to drink so much, finally the sun has arrived. :D x

Thanks guys, I am so shiny I am blinding everyone. My doctor had to laugh at my excitement. As far as I see it, nothing can be bad compared to the olden days of treatment, this will be a walk in the park for me. I feel pretty blessed and feel like a huge burden has lifted. I know I am very fortunate to come out this far unscathed. This dragon doesn't stand a chance! I hope to pass on the sword very soon to the next person that needs it! :D x

 Thanks Robert, I am still a 0 after 20 years, goodness knows how! I don't know up to date viral count, we have decided the only important count is the end one. All contradictions point to a cure for me, but being a 3, it is possible to rebound, but its all looking good. Thank you. :D x

Hi everyone,

I don't have any other Hep, I got all the all clear, it was pesky stones after all, my stats are already lowering :D

I gave in my prescription and pick it up Friday. I am so excited I can't wait. I thought I'd share my good news.
